About the art
Artist statement
This sculpture is inspired by the poem "Conversation with a Stone" by the Polish poet Wislawa Szymborska. A fragment:
I knock at the stone’s front door.
“It’s only me, let me come in.
“I don’t have a door,” says the stone.
It is made in a small size that expresses intimacy. It's about the desire to make contact, it opens up a little, but you don't really get in.
This sculpture is handcarved from bluestone, you can see the stroke of the pointed chisel. It is made of two separate parts, each divided into three, as if it were several stones.
This sculpture is also suitable for outdoors.
