It's All Set in Stone

To be "Set in Stone" means that the subject is irreversible, "this is the way it is and there is no changing this fact".

Emotions, you would think, are something that would never be "Set in Stone" with the ability to change in mere milliseconds... except, perhaps, in the very literal sense.

Walking through a sculptural gallery can feel as though you're walking through a frozen world... the absolutely breath taking ability of an artist to release an emotion from the confines of a piece of marble is truely mind blowing. A furrowed brow, a look of anguish, amusement or smugness... how can a piece of stone relay these feelings; these very maluable human expressions?

I can't tell you how but I can say that I fear this is a dying art (at least to this extent)... and what a shame. Luckily these expressions and feelings won't fade and will forever be "Set In Stone" for us to view...

...to be remembered as the works of true creative passion.

Much Love
