The Story
The artist's exploration of weight, tension, and stability culminated in Stone Rig, a name that evokes the essence of shipping equipment, apparatus, and engineering. The four stretchers, anchored to mast-like legs, suspend a forged central sphere in a taught embrace. This composition's tension, along with the textured surface of the ironwork, brings a sense of rhythm and vitality to the table. The golden gilt Iron base is complimented by a contemporary artisan cast-glass top, a rippling ocean landscape frozen in time.
