Congratulations Seamus,

It's great to see a practical artist put into words what
a number of professional stone workers think when all
the abstract philosophy is quoted in the name of 'art'
by people trying to convince themselves that they are an
important and necessary artisan.

I received a number of e-mails this morning, most were a
complete waste of time and technology.

There are times when I crave the company and discourse
with a like minded stone carver or mason but like you I
have to keep the air-hammers on line.

My best wishes from Wagga Wagga in Australia,

John Shephard. ach27j@xxxxxxxxxx
