I worked on this very slowly for about 5 months. I collected nearly 200 rocks down in the desert wash, carried them up the small hill and made piles. On weekends, I worked them as little as possible and set 1 to 5 stones at a time. There are about 150 stones set in this rough-built feature. “Stone Lookout" is more about function than form for me. Why the function? Recently, we watched the Israeli series “Fauda” and in one scene the main character, Doron, is sitting and drinking coffee from a small glass and it reminded me of a vivid memory I have of squatting around a fire and drinking tea in a Bedouin camp in Southern Israel when I was 24 years-old. After I left the Marines, I was accepted in a one-year program at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. I've always been a curious person about humans and different cultures and my goal that year was to explore as much of the land as possible. in late 1993, I planned a day trip to the Jabaliyah refugee camp in the Gaza Strip. I found a Bedouin taxi driver in Jerusalem who agreed to drive me there. On the way there he asked me if it was okay if we stopped to see his family and have tea. Upon arrival, I greeted his wife who was squatting by a fire cooking something. A few others walked over and everyone just dropped down into the squat position. Soon a hot, brown tea was poured into small glasses with a bit of sugar. I remember feeling how incredible it was to experience what was for them a normal, ritualistic part of their daily life: Taking a break, squatting and drinking hot tea from small glasses. So, I decided that “Stone Lookout” would be a space to squat and drink hot tea or coffee as often as possible for me and my wife.

It was in Israel and Egypt where he first experienced the wonder and awe of monumental dry stone works at Jerusalem’s Old City and the Pyramids of Giza outside of Cairo. In his thirties, he completed a Bachelors in Political Science at UC-Boulder, started a small landscape construction business and discovered the world of drystone in Seattle, Washington. In his forties he focused solely on designing and building drystone features after experiencing the complexities, challenges, and immense satisfaction that characterize this ancient method. Now in his fifties, he’s asking and trying to answer two questions: “What’s possible with the drystone method in the 21st century (and why don’t we build modern megaliths)?”
