About this work
Raw black granite cut to expose a hairline seam of white quartz — geology as composition.
Technique
Two precision diamond-saw cuts to expose quartz seam. All other surfaces left as quarried.
Surface & finish
Cut faces: fine ground and lightly waxed. Raw faces: untreated quarry finish.
Artistic background
“This work required no carving. The sculptor spent three months in a Scottish quarry selecting a block whose internal quartz formation ran in a single unbroken line from base to crown. Two saw cuts on opposing faces revealed this meridian. The remainder of the stone surface was left entirely raw — hammer-dressed from extraction — so the contrast between geological accident and human intention remains legible.”
