"Les Pierres gardent toutes en elles, une œuvre à découvrir.
Mon travail consiste à dégager la matière inutile à leur lecture.
Les plissements et les méandres de la roche m’invite à écouter par le regard et le toucher le sujet en attente.
A des sources archaïques, les blocs d’albâtre de Volterra me ramènent au temps des vestiges. D’un éclat surgit de terre , un bestiaire déjà vivant appelle mon ciseau.
Les pierres sont bien patientes, je les appelle à leur tendresse, à l’énergie particulière de ce qui se dénoue."

Translation:

"The Stones keep all, in them, a work to be discovered.
My work consists in giving off the useless matter with their reading.
Crumplings and the meanders of the rock invite me to listen, by the glance and the touch the subject on standby.
To antiquated sources, the blocks of alabaster of Volterra bring back for me to time vestiges. From a glare emerges from ground, an already alive bestiary calls my chisel.
The stones are quite patient, I call them with their tenderness, particular energy of what is untied."
