Scudo del Mare, 2012

(Shield of the Sea)

In a private collection, Italy.

Bardiglio Marble, Travertine;

63” x 67” x 14” high / 160cm x 170cm x 35cm high

This new work in the series of the Shields is fairly close to the sand dollar form, yet about 4.5 feet in diameter. Its soft and subtle shape give it almost a living quality, even though it clearly has the sense of the crustaceous, a skeletal form.
