Psithurism
Statuario Marble
30cm x 10cm x 10cm
About.
Psitherism is a descriptive term for the sound of leaves in the breeze. The piece aims to encapsulate this shimmering energy. Working in the round, the inherently angular and abstract silhouette of the piece echoes the swaying motion.
The Process.
The piece was first composed from dried leaves, manipulated in three dimensions. It was then copied using a pointing machine, which is a measuring technique dating back to the renaissance.
The Material.
The piece is carved in Statuario marble and is of very fine quality. ‘Stat’ is prized for it purity of colour and fine grain, and has been quarried in Tuscany for millennia.
