I was in this room after it was finished,
I really enjoy doing fireplaces of quality and originality. Even within the tradition of stone carving,there is room for creativity, and it is a joy to collaborate with my clients to help them get what they want.
I’m a big fan of detail, and feel that the state of mind it takes to do well translates to the viewer. It takes peace of mind to do well, and, done well, brings a sense of peace to a room.
Even as an impression only, a beautiful fireplace retains its beauty.
I have to hand it to the masons, who did a beautiful job on the fireboxes. They were all this well made. I would like to see how this piece feels in a room full of books. Context is everything.
