About the art
Artist statement
This is alive. This is what’s real. Feel. It. Hold the weight of the Earth in your hands, on a human scale.
The consciousness of nature in your grasp.
A cube is complex but simple and the creative mind plays with objects it loves, making something new.
Man’s desire for perfection.
The raw energy extracted from the heart of the Earth, crafted by the work of hands, cut and fashioned with passion, roughness removed, inequality polished away.
The final touches, the details; an ode to beauty, an ode to the material.
Once cut, you see their gold hearts.
And the angle is everything. It is a dialogue with the angles. Each angle creates a different perspective. Something new.
Gold cuts are layered with a 24K French gold leaf and come in three different material variations.
This is not something you need. You do not need a paper weight to survive. But you need it to change your perception.
