Achieving  memory      

 
The word is silent and communication is ineffable , it 

is only visual and tactile.  

The vision of Myth has always been locked  up in the 

object , in the construction of what remains. 

Extinguished cultures leave behind objects such as “Mohicas Huacos” of Peru or the 

Australian Aboriginal barks with their famous “Mimis”.  

 

 
 

 

Stone sculpture is to be witnessed. It is not ephemeral. It does not need musical theory 

or the knowledge of any language to express itself. There is no digital innovation in the 

works that we build. Its importance is contained with in its own myths.
