About the art
Artist statement
This is blasphemy. The impious intersection of materials. The melding of marble and onyx, merged together in an ode to the curve.
Starting from rectangular blocks, they are polished, federated, and put on the turning table and spun, and slowly hewed to form the graceful rondure.
Then the inside is formed.
The man and the machine and the material. A slow and delicate process, it takes the time that it needs, in sympathy with the sensitivity, the delicacy of the onyx.
Man has been connected to these materials, and his tools, for thousands of years. It is only technology that changes.
Just like life itself, you need to be patient.
