Artist statement
Time is the most priceless anything. It is everything.
Here you are buying time.
Take this piece in with assiduity. An immoderate ashtray as a silent acquiescence, to stop, to recede from the hustle, the shove of life.
A restorative hiatus; roll yourself a puff. Enjoy the process. Give this time to yourself.
This is for the lone, selective and reflective smoker. There’s only one place to put a cigarette. One engraved, 24K gold leaf, port.
It is an exact negative of your hand. It is an extension of your hand. It is an extension of your body. Carved out of a solid block of Tala Nori marble, light onyx or Coca-Cola onyx.
This is where the inspiration comes.
