Handcrafted Stone
by Ellen Sidor
“I explore myriad life forms through my sculptures. Images often appear in my dreams and meditations; then I search to find the stones that conceal them. My work these days is small, intimate and handheld. Each unique carving is a statement about the infinite ways that life manifests itself on earth. Stone carving opens me to the timelessness of the natural world and, after 40 years, has fashioned me as well.”
