Celestial Shore

Celestial Shore
Stone, lapis lazuli, mixed pebbles, resin
18 × 18 × 18 cm

A hand-formed sphere whose surface is set with pebbles gathered from the shore and fragments of lapis lazuli that pool on one side like a celestial sea. The globe combines blue lapis with red jaspers, pale quartz and agates, and dark flint and chert, forming a kind of stone map of an imagined world, where land and ocean meet in timeless dialogue.
