The Material.

The works are made from an antique marble block, purchased from the studio of the former sculptor Brian Taylor. The block had been squared up by hand using a punch, suggesting a real age to the block. The block was split in half using plug and feathers, which are a traditional method of splitting stone. Holes are drilled along the stone where you wish to split it, and steel wedges are driven into the holes, splitting the stone. The sculptures retain the original texture of the block, and the drill holes where the stone was split.
