The work MARMARA was made as a limited edition for the exhibition BLOCK, curated by Murat Patavi of Haaz Gallery in Istanbul.
Working with marble for the first time I was intrigued by the possibilities of carving a form out of a solid ... which complies to the most ancient idea of 'sculpture'. Normally I work quite in reverse - constructing/building a three dimensional form up from elements. Also I liked the fact that marble is 'heavy'. Again, I normally work towards making things light and mobile. This time the weight became an integral part of the design.
