The Art of Charles Pilkey

EARTH

AIR

Stone is a harsh mistress; It will humble the proudest carver. A cold, elemental beauty; such stuff as worlds are made of. The stuff of the earth. The entire drama of human life in all its heroic folly is played out on a stage of stone. And when the final curtain falls, when lights are dimmed and actor and audience depart, all that remains is stone. Like the earth, stone abides.

The artist is the lover of nature. He is therefore her master and her slave.
