Louis Kevitt
Southwest Rock Sculptures

Louis Kevitt is a self-described jeweler (sixth generation), mountaineer, and philosopher. These three facets of Kevitt's diverse life experience make themselves immediately evident in his work, a unique combination of organic rock forms and patterns of semi-precious stone that express an intimate and human connection with the earth.

"Each piece I create begins with a sandstone slab of rust, ochre, and reddish hues," says Kevitt. "Each stone speaks, asking me to visualize meaning, depth, solitude and myth in a the stone's shape and surface textures. In this there is play, a game between friends, a revealing and concealing just like looking at clouds and seeing shapes. It is in the midst of this that I reach beyond myself. The spirits in these stones shape me and tell me their story; and in turn I shape them, inlaying turquoise, lapis, malachite, jet and silver."
