Young notes in Time in Stone that ‘To carve a thoughtfulness into a stone, and bring the touch of a human life, a dream of beauty, of compassion, to a rock, whose existence is so wild, so simple and so much more ancient than ours, is a call, a bleat, into the future from us, now. The ancient Greeks still call to us from their time just as I desire my work to call to some unknowable future.’
