Stone Witness

by Deb Hemley

“Stone Witness emerges from a fascination with the inner life of landscape — the sense that rock, water, and sediment hold a kind of quiet awareness. Working in layers of blue, gold, and grey, I found myself drawn into the geology of the image, each mark accumulating like strata over time. Presence here is not immediate. It emerges gradually, carrying a quiet warning: stop, look, and stay a little longer.”
