This beautiful piece turns a simple white wall into a sculptural moment, capturing the grace of flowing fabric in solid stone. It features soft, heavy folds of white plaster that seem to tumble and wave across the frame, looking like a piece of silk blowing in the wind or the calm swell of an ocean.
Because the entire piece is one color, it relies on soft shadows to tell its story, with the deep “valleys” of the folds changing as the light in the room shifts. It’s a sophisticated and quiet statement piece that adds a touch of handcrafted luxury and organic peace to a bedroom or a quiet reading corner.
Medium: Heavy-bodied gypsum plaster relief on a reinforced wood-backed frame
Technique: Dimensional hand-sculpting; the plaster is hand-folded, pressed, and layered over an internal support structure while wet to create organic, rigid fabric-like waves
Finish: Seamless monochromatic bone-white finish with a soft, velvet-like texture that absorbs and diffuses light
Form: A horizontal rectangular panel featuring a “waterfall” drape or high-relief folds that cascade across the canvas
