ONE THREAD WINDS
Materials: Gambier limestone
Gambier Limestone, from South Australia, is composed of fragments of bryozoa or lace coral and shell deposited more than 15 million years ago, when a large part of southern Australia was covered by a warm sea. The shell debris has compacted over time to form a soft porous limestone that retains a matt finish. Occasionally larger shells and sharks teeth are found in the stone.

BEGINNING
Carrara Marble
0.15 x 0.13 x 0.10 m
A modified egg shape and the start of my love of sculpting marble. This rock hard material can be as smooth as silk. This piece is placed on a support rather than mounted permanently on a base so that it can be displayed in different orientations. It is a work that is designed to be held as well as viewed to experience the as the mass of the stone, the cool feel and the smooth finish.
