Sculpture — stone and fire
Fire Place
2022 — Casa Shalva
A slab of stone, its edge left as it split, on a fluted stone column. A flame burns from a bowl cut into the top.
Inspired by the stone temples of Greece and the pyramids of Mexico. A monumental, fluted base with raw edges, and only the top cut smooth. The round curves are feminine, the fire masculine — held in balance.
