This marble installation, about 60″ tall, is my latest work. The marble came from an almost abandoned quarry is Sylacauga, Alabama. I carried the stone back to Gainesville in my truck. There is a 6″ by 1/2″ stainless steel rod that secures the marble to the concrete base. I originally conceived of the design as representing a skeleton key being pushed through the stone. As time went on, the piece seemed more reminiscent of a Celtic motif.
I’m so glad you made a site-specific sculpture for our home. The scale and simple design of this piece highlights the beauty of the marble. Well done!
This is magnificent. Would love to commission a piece for our house. I still cherish some of your pieces you had given me as gifts. They are my prized possessions
