When I started to select my stone in nature, I realized the organic shape of stones defines the subject matter of my work and all I need to do is to supplement the lines and textures with an image. I call these “Hale-ready-made sculptures”. This became the inspiration for the work I now do today.  My feeling was that I should work with the already existing organic shapes of stones and create my artworks out of them. It seems that when I choose a stone it is already a half completed piece of art before I begin to carve.

 

 

Through imagination, I see body that hidden in stones. I collect them.
