Artist Statement: 
This piece combines patterns found in the cosmati pavement of Westminster Abbey with the beauty of the natural world. Mountains are the temples of nature and the struggles of ascending them are often symbolic of our struggles in life to ascend and return to a heavenly level. Patterns have also historically been used and created to help people leave behind the day today distractions of life and consider higher things.
