Artist's Statement:

I found this pebble of serpentinite in a creek in NSW. I went hunting for this beautiful green stone after I was inspired by hand-carvings of serpentinite by Shona sculptors from Zimbabwe. I saw several of their exhibitions in Sydney, including at the Sydney Opera House during the Sculpture Demonstration Workshop in 1990.
