Two sculptures for a new life
The artist repeatedly uses forms to illustrate the concept of personal growth (particularly re-birth and self-renewal).
This monumental scale sculpture, entitled "Seedling" took 8 months of solid labor to create. It is carved from a 10,000 lb. block of Georgia Pink Marble (the artist's all-time favorite!). It measures 8' high x 4' wide x 3' thick. It is shown on a 2' high concrete footer that is a permanent fixture of the studio property (not included).
It has a polished outer form, with a frosted interior and frosted leaf veins. The artist also uses an alternate title of "Phoenix Flower", making reference to the recreation of the Phoenix from its ashes.
It has polished leaves, a stippled inner array of forms and gently spiralling grooved forms that were made with a forked Italian pneumatic chisel. The base has a polished top with natural 'rock pitch' sides.!!!SOLD!!
