Image within the Stone
Exclusive artwork created by Spirit, Wood & Stone
Shocked Quartz Microscopy Paintings
Beneath the visible surface of shocked quartz lies a hidden structure—one that reveals more than pattern or fracture. Through microscopic imaging, these works uncover a layered field where form, presence, and meaning exist simultaneously, waiting to be seen.
Each painting is a translation of that unseen world. What begins as a scientific capture becomes an interpretive act—where natural formation and human perception meet. Figures emerge, dissolve, and reappear: watchers, guides, divisions, and acts of will—each representing a moment within a larger, continuous system.
I call this painting “The Angel” . As I painted the image came to life, portraying an angelic guardian figure beside a child, with distant observers witnessing a moment where the child appears to be sending out a force that disrupts the divide between light and darkness. There are images within the image which made it difficult to paint, as the image seemed to change over the two weeks of painting sessions with this piece.

Created as the first piece in the series, this work represents the core of The Chamber and the reason for being allowed to see or “visit”. I feel that this is the image that started it all. That made me want to re-create the image onto something tangible so that I would never forget what I had seen even if the stone were lost. I pulled the image and began to draw it, what came out was so much more than what I seen from a distance. History and memories of a life or observance from one who was tasked to observe, record, usher, carry, accept but never interfere and was resigned to do so. Images within images emerged. I was listening and feeling a story as I re-created the image. The story seems to be about the creation, recording of events and the life of Death.

Through the Window
A glimpse into the unseen—where existence is formed, observed, and recorded.
A fracture of light reveals what lies beyond—not as a separation, but as a moment of recognition. What appears illuminated is defined by what stands beside it, and what emerges from darkness is not hidden within it, but formed through it.
Within the composition, symbols of access and awareness take shape. A heart-formed key, composed of emotion and memory, meets a bound structure whose purpose depends not on opposition, but on relationship. Surrounding forms—watchers, crowned figures, and living shadows—exist not as contrasts, but as participants in a shared state of being.
From this convergence, form begins to emerge. A presence takes shape through both light and darkness, neither overcoming the other, but revealed because of it.
This piece invites a shift in perception—where light and dark are not separate forces, but part of the same source. Each defines the other. Neither exists alone.

This collection is called Through the Window. Each piece of art is hand crafted on Canvas or Wood and reflects the microscopic images taken within the stone.
In this series, each painting represents a state within this system: structure, role, awakening, unity, separation, and will. These are not isolated moments, but recorded conditions—each one shaped by perception, interaction, and choice.
The collection consists of eight works, beginning with The Architecture of Passage and culminating in The Chamber. At the center stands The One Who Presides, the governing presence through which all passage is observed. Surrounding works emerge as expressions of that system, revealing how existence forms, divides, and acts within its own continuity.
The final piece holds the full narrative. The seven that precede it are fragments of that story—each one contributing to a greater whole.
Together, these works suggest that nothing exists in isolation. Every action, every form, and every outcome is part of a greater field—one in which all moments are witnessed, and all states are recorded.
This collection is not a depiction of reality—it is a reflection of the structure through which reality is continuously written.
