We laugh. We pray. We cry. We give thanks for joyous occasions and seek solace when in distress. The stones listen and absorb. We step back in distance; in time; in perspective. The stones listen and speak.

Binymain Basteker’s language is abstract. His subject is expression. His paintings sing and dance; always hopeful. Some are joyous and some are solemn. Each work evokes emotion; through these paintings we travel in time, as we wait and anticipate the time that the stones shall return to their glory.
