By
choice Kazik Gasior's muse is stone, being both perpetual and a
witness to the passge of eons. It allows the artist to reveal in each
sculpture this cherished symbol of time. Kazik reawakens dormant
forms hidden for so long and liberates them by his inspiration. The
essence of time is inherent in the durability of the medium, being
both constant and unchanging since the dawn of time. It has
preexisted man and will remain after we cease to exist. In defiance
of this permanence the artist's decision is to register on this
material a faint human fingerprint to record our existence on earth.
In this way humanity transient nature is coupled with the endurance
of stone. We are invited to be humble, as we must acknowledge
mankind's fragility put in perspective by the intrinsic strength and
eternal nature of stone.
