Trained as a Restoration Stone Mason, I transitioned from architectural restoration to sculptor some 20 years ago; working out of my studio and gallery in Bass River, Nova Scotia. Having grown up in Antigonish, I am both pleased and excited to have contributed to this important project. The sculpture I have created for the People's Place is a six foot high Word Stone hand carved from Indiana Limestone. The piece was envisioned to reflect all of the activities that will come to life at the center and will provide its own activity; that of reading and personal reflection. The words chosen for this piece were contributed through a variety of sources, including local community brainstorming sessions. In this way, it is truly representative of those who will enjoy the Peoples Place.
