Letter Cutting in Stone
Eoghan acquired the art of letter cutting by hand in stone and marble in Carrara, Italy. Since then, he has taken great pleasure in exploring the capacity of letters carved in stone to convey meaning with a power and profundity impossible in any other medium.
He accepts commissions for inscriptions of all types.
