Stone
Like wood, stone is an archetypal sculptural material, with a history that stretches back to the earliest human artifacts. The critic Robert Hughes once called marble a medium of “public address” because of its wide use in civic spaces. A piece like Book of Light recalls that history in form, but also exposes a hidden translucency inherent in some marbles, which is only seen when they are carved “thin”.
