stone brush meditation in repetition : the weight of an enviroment
Sweeping the Floor may transcend the ordinary into a spiritual and magical event. The stone brush attempts to reframe the ideologies of utilitarian cleaning, and is instead based in the innate human connection to earth materials. The stone brush is based and constructed only of natural materials, forged in the environment of New York.


The bristles of the brush series was collaborative with Makiah Roberts.The bristles are a combination of palm bristles and forged grasses of the New York area, and Russian sage. The binding agent stays true to natural material ideology of the stone brush and uses beeswax from the local market. The acquired river stones are from Trout Brook, New York, which the land of the Lenape people.





A clear mat made from reclaimed wood which frames the proposed space for cleaning. It removes the motivation for the user to use the brush in a regular ‘functional’ manner, instead creating a space to orient oneself with the weight of the stone brushes.

This proposed frame breaks the floor into a dedicated space for cleaning the mind as opposed to the environment with the effort of the body through the use of stone. This opens up a new potential which allows the act of sweeping the floor to ‘transcend the ordinary and become a spiritual and even magical event.’

The demonstration of motion and movement. The hands pulling and turning a weighted object. hands: Arcadia Squires. Largest stone brush of the family of four: comprised of one stone from Trout Brook and palm bristles fastened by beeswax.
