…Is Already Stone Itself’ is the second half of an installation that began with ‘A Face that Toils So Close to Stones…’. This second part comprehends a series of lithographs of different body parts.

When transferring the body parts to the surface of the stone, the skin becomes that of the limestone. Lithographic reticulations and a grainy grease-attracting areas are the new epidermis. I am that which I do: my hands get shaped by the irregular contour of each limestone, my back hurts from bowing to the stone, my legs get sturdier with every ground stone, and my arms are constantly soar, like a latent indicator that the transmutation is about to take place.

How much time do I have before I become stone myself?
