Scott a Feero

Dressing Stone Scott a Feero

The only good artist is a dead artist. -The Art Collector's Credo


Craig Plummer, a sculptor once known as DeBris in New York art circles, has lost his creative drive after experiencing a series of tragedies, culminating with the death of his first wife, Carol Javal, an up and coming fashion model.

Now remarried, Craig is consumed by guilt over his role in Carol's death, and secretly longs for her daily. Getting by working as a residential remodeling contractor, Craig is facing growing pressure from his second wife, Cheryl, a high powered M& A lawyer, who wants him to sell their loft and move into a house so they can start living like normal people.

But Craig has become entangled with his client's alluring nanny, Nina Brown. As the source of a renewed inspiration, the artist's relationship with his mercurial muse becomes an obsession, and as he resumes sculpting he is torn between ending his marriage to Cheryl and ending the affair with Nina.

Unfolding within the month prior to Kurt Cobain's impending suicide in early April of 1994, Dressing Stone transports you into the mind of an artist. An artist crushed by the death of his first wife. An artist gutted by the deaths of over a dozen friends and colleagues. A man still burdened with grief after five years. A man who has not yet been able to come to terms with the transformative tsunami caused by the savage crash of cocaine, heroin, and AIDS over his life...

Will Nina help resurrect the artist known as DeBris, or will the nanny end up being just another millstone dragging him down?

Will the artist save the grunge rock obsessed girl from her own worst instincts, or are they both doomed by impulses they just cannot control?
