from the artist:

“Stone began as an exploration into the sensory experience of stonehood — immersed in earth and growth, smoothed and nurtured by time. I wanted to capture the birth and death of the world around this steadfast natural form. Making this practice encompassed many seasons of my life, which I feel is integral to my own personal experience of the scent. Mint leaf echoes moments of making in the studio during the winter. Crisp, sweet herbaceousness, which characterizes the top notes of stone, couples with the beginnings of fresh green growth into Spring. The heart brings it closer to the ground: dry, faintly smoky vetiver mingles with damp soil akin to petrichor. At last, Stone dries down to a smooth cedar and comforting musks: the feeling of a weathered stone in hand, somehow, by chance, fitting perfectly in the palm.”
