Heads (1997 - )

Note: A number of the individual Heads have become part of the insteallation Heads (1977-2021).

One day on my walk, I paused by a pile of stones. I picked one up and turned it over only to discover a head looking at me. Through time my collection of head stones grew. Each stone holds a secret; over time its marks are etched and inscribed.

When I pick up a stone, or a bit of earth, I suddenly become aware that my comprehension of time is not like the time of the earth. We are somehow so caught up in our own experience that it is hard to comprehend where we have come from or where we are going – to grasp reality away from our own experience. When I observe a rock or the water in a river I realize that its lifeline is part of a reality and time that I cannot understand.

“You walk for days among trees and among stones. Rarely does the eye light on a thing, and then only when it has recognized that thing as the sign of another thing: a print in the sand indicates the tiger's passage; a marsh announces a vein of water; the hibiscus flower, the end of winter. All the rest is silent and interchangeable; trees and stones are only what they are.”
