this was one of my more technically challenging pieces. the stone is translucent and glows if backlit. i wanted to portray a very organic process by using a very cold and hard medium for contrast. as if something is being born and nursed on the inside, every angle yields a different view of this "embryo"

stone: translucent honey-ice alabaster
base: american red oak
approx dimensions: 22 x 13 x 9 inches or 58 x 33 x 23 cm
