STONE LOVER

I am enthralled…
Deeply stirred…
By this stone,
Awe-inspiring within its
quarry face.

I lust for my great,
Raw,
Power-laden treasure block.

I yearn to speak through
glittering crystal-meat,
Electric veinings,
Opulent, hidden colors.

I crave to discover the
  particular wet-earth scent.
And yearn to hear its voice
  ringing beneath my tool’s
  cutting edge.

I am thrilled by the challenge
Of its rough weight…
Individual rock-hardness,
Of its danger!

Addicted to the exuberance
I’ve come to expect,

That takes me away

From myself.

Stone Sculpture by Pamela Soldwedel

Pamela Soldwedel has a spiritual connection with stone. She is inspired by its ancient life history. It was once very much alive, and the artist's goal is to revitalize its massive strength in her abstract sculpture, through transforming the seemingly immutable material into soft forms with supple movements.
