Memorials
"Our aim should be, I think, to make letters live...that men themselves may have more life."
(Edward Johnston)
A hand made memorial is something really special. Not an object chosen from a menu of options in a catalogue, but one which comes out of a working relationship between artist and client. The goal is to create something that fits beautifully the memory of the one who has died. There are many things to consider; the choice of stone and its shape, composition and carved imagery, and especially the lettering. Have you seen letters carved by hand with skill and love? They are filled with life as they dance across the stone in a way machine cut letters cannot achieve. Proper spacing allows the eye to flow through the words, and the letters are as eloquent as the words they express.
