Reversed Equation represents something of a turning point for me in that the primary focus of attention is deflected away from the marble I carve and onto the space created by its absence. Attention is also drawn to the interplay of light captured and relayed by the two rounded convex surfaces that serve to radiate whatever light is available.
Easy to pick up and move around, Reversed Equation serves to frame and highlight the surrounding scenery. The rough-hewn textured surface is created by a process known as ‘pitching’, whereby the marble is split using the tremendous force of a steel mallet bearing down on a steel wedge with a blow that literally wrenches the stone apart along the natural seams and stress-points hidden within the marble. This process creates a multifaceted surface that captures light from every angle. At any one point, and from any angle, countless thousands of tiny diamond-like specks glint from the fractured rough textured surface of the brilliant white marble, as the sun arcs its way through the sky.
Although Reversed Equation was conceived to convey the light emanating from a flickering candle flame, never-the-less this is one very tough marble sculpture, and can testify to weathering many a Colorado Rocky Mountain summer, autumn, spring and winter storm; sub zero night, and blistering hot Colorado sunny day. As with all my Standing Stones, Reversed Equation is designed to swivel upon a hole drilled into the underside of the base, wherein a six inch steel rod prevents any possibility of tipping.
