"For me, stone is more than just a medium – it is a mirror."
My journey into the Mythic Ember Chamber began with the realization that stone demands honesty. It allows for no shortcuts.
In the heavy, rhythmic strike of the chisel, I found a way to navigate through the echoes of my own past – confronting old fears and childhood experiences that once felt as unyielding as granite. Every sculpture I carve is a testament to this confrontation. Working with stone for twenty hours or more means remaining entirely present with oneself.
It is an act of transformation: turning the cold weight of the past into a silent, powerful presence.
"Finding the silence
within the stone"
I work primarily with marble and limestone, occasionally with sandstone and granite – materials that have been shaped by human hands for millennia. Each piece begins as a solid block and is carved directly, without casting or replication. The process is physical and full of resistance. The material imposes limits, demands choices, and often guides the outcome in a new direction.
The form is not forced upon the stone, but rather developed in dialogue with it. Alongside my own artistic work, I am employed in a stone workshop as a surface treatment specialist (Hand Finisher). My approach to sculpture is self-taught – driven not by academic training, but by an enduring fascination with the material itself. Stone endures. It carries time within it and outlives its creator.
This permanence shapes the work – creating objects that exist somewhere between artifact and pure presence. The act of carving moves between strength and control. It is a confrontation with resistance – and, at the same time, a quiet, focused process. As I work the stone, I also process inner tension, doubt, and anxiety. What remains is not just the form, but the trace of this journey.
"When you bring a piece from this chamber into your home, you are not merely acquiring a sculpture. You hold a fragment of a journey in your hands – a symbol of strength, endurance, and the silent fire that continues to burn long after the struggle."
