The stones have been washed and the dust removed to revel the colours in the stone. The band of blue and beige really enhances the bottle form.
As Henry Moore once famously said - " The first hole made through a piece of stone is a revelation. The hole connects one side to the other, making it immediately more three-dimensional. A hole can itself have as much shape-meaning as a solid mass". Wet Core drilling and angle grinder's are the tools for the job!
The largest of the three stones will stand at 2.1m high and has a beautiful blue band that runs through the middle of the stone. As I've decided to work with the original dimensions of the block, the stone will be around 40cm in places instead of the original 25cm. This will lend to the sculpture having a greater presence in the landscape. Again another very tactile and curved form which will have both polished and textured surfaces when complete. The cut out slot / window which will be cut out of the neck of the vessel will run central measuring 115cm.
