SAXUM VELUM (stone sail)
1996, bronze / granite, 92"h x46"w x38'd (233 x117 x96 cm)
available
saxum velum - loosely translated from Latin: stone sail
Typically a 'sail' takes it form from wind current - a very ephemeral force. In Saxum Velum the sail is granite, completely antithetical.
This inherent irony creates a compelling visual,
conceptual and gravitational tension common in much the artist’s work.
