When you grow up in the shadow of mountains you are like a fish who doesn’t know what water is. It’s not until you wander away that you realize what you have been breathing. We instinctively know that when we need comfort and counsel we should go up. All of nature is pointing us that way.



Jared’s brother carried his stones in his hands to the very top. He knew.



These beautiful temples dot the earth and when we come to one, we just start climbing.

I hope when you view this piece, you will stand in front of it and give yourself a moment to wander through it. I hope you will find beauty in and interest in the many competing and complimentary colors and textures. Your eye might stop and rest thoughtfully on an irregularity or imperfection that creates ideas or questions or feelings and I hope you will want to interact with it, running your fingers across the varied surface with its cracks and holes. I hope that as you give yourself this experience, you will find that your eye repeatedly comes to the center, that small circle surrounded by so much “else”.

I hope that your life will also be full and rich and beautiful and varied and imperfect and textured, that you will appreciate the many parts and engage deeply, that your experiences will create ideas, and questions and feelings. . .

​And that you will, in all your extendings, be drawn repeatedly to a powerful center.
