Stones

2017

Open endings, carved in stone.

While looking for traces of a friend’s family in old graveyards in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana I often came upon headstones carved without names or dates.  Home in California I found similar anonymous stones in other graveyards. I regard these carved-in-stone memorials as sites paradoxically set free by time from any one person, family, place or occasion and thereby open to other stories of remembering.
