Rookstone & Miha
Hey Rookstone, I’ve been mulling over this idea of turning a story into stone—like carving out characters and scenes in a single slab, almost like a living monument. Do you think a stone sculpture could really tell a tale as vividly as a book?
A stone can hold a tale, but it speaks in a different tongue than a book. With each chisel stroke you carve a moment, a breath, a gesture, and the weight of the stone gives that moment permanence. A page can turn many scenes in a heartbeat, while a slab invites the viewer to pause, to feel the texture and the silence between the lines. If you choose the right figures, the right depth, and a clear narrative rhythm, a single slab can become a quiet epic that the eyes can follow and the heart can remember. So yes, a stone can tell a story as vividly as a book—just in a quieter, steadier voice. Keep the design simple, focus on the essential action, and let the stone itself do the storytelling.
