Birthstones

Through my personal and professional work as a stone carver I have spent quite a lot of time working on and ruminating over the concepts of memory, memorialization, loss, death and remembrance. If these subjects seem dour – I agree. In anticipation of the birth of our first child I was thinking more about the beginning of life rather than its end. This thinking led me to question why we spend so much time and money making memorials about the cessation of life, rather than it’s beginning.
