Marble

My first Marble sculptures made during my residency at the Digital Stone Project in Italy.

The meditation on love, joy and connection that characterizes my work is further reflected in Encaptured. I combined 3D scans of two sculptures previously realized in clay and altered them digitally to create a new dialogue between the forms. They intentionally intersect. The sculptures were rough milled by robots at Garfagnana Innovazione before I arrived to hand sculpt and finish the work. The robotic assistance facilitated by my digital stone residency allowed me to pursue a larger, more complex project in marble.

The result of the two forms displayed apart, with the imprint of one on the other, creates a tension and sense of longing that is inspired by the inexplicable gravitational pull we have to others, friendly and romantic. The two forms yearn to be connected and consumed with one another.
