INVERSION is cut from 21 million year old stone from a quarry in Lecce, Italy.
The process, beginning with a 5” x 7” watercolor sketch in New York City, which is transformed into a 3d file, and then sent to a five-axis cutter in Lecce, required no working drawings.
Measuring 1.2 meters tall and weighing 2500 lbs, the Lecce limestone is digitally cut with a 5-axis CNC mill by the Lecce stone fabricator Pimar. The forms are a carved out rectangular stone block, and its direct reversal as a solid. Reflected in a sheet of water, these forms are again reversed.
In the evening they glow like stone lanterns powered with flexible hi-powered LED strip tubes. The architectonic constructions hover and reflect in a sheet of water. (zdroj)
