Peeking Through Ages

When you see a stone potato peeking at you, you've got to pick it up.

This deeply strange stone was a gift from the creek. Pondering the improbability of things its purpose. It is rare that I spend time in mossy places. It is such a soft world compared to the desert. Nearly every sense stimulated in a different way within a space thick  with humus. This stone came from a creek sunk deep in the forest, a veiling of fathomless green surrounding on all sides.

Joining this talisman of the bizarre is a tubular basket of knotwork, Indonesian glass beads and a sterling silver clasp.

The wooden hanging frame it is shown with installed in the gallery is available upon request.
