Artist Statement:
This petoskey stone is one I polished myself. I put a lot of time and effort into it, which makes it important to me. I like the idea that this picture is achieved through two separate artistic efforts: the polishing and the photography. The patterns on the stone reminded me of lakes, rivers and plants, which inspired me to use this green background, bringing together elements of nature. I like the contrast between the smooth texture of the rock and the rough textile of the fabric.
