The Elephant Table is a family of six similar stones. Related in form, geometry, and aesthetic origin, the six pieces are individual elements gathered together to compose an imperfect yet complete and wonderful whole. Conversely, the table is a singular entity dissolving into six independent shapes with delicate fault lines and subtle idiosyncrasies.
The two largest stones are bound together and structurally anchor the four smallest stones. The family assumes new figures as the stones are reorganized, but the table is only truly complete when all six pieces are settled and the larger graining of the Mesa Quartzite flows from stone to stone.
The tones and rings of the Mesa Quartzite echo impressions of wind and tide along the beach, rippling water, and aging growth rings of a tree. The figures are organic, painterly, and ethereal.
