Fragile
This striking piece feels like a fragment of a volcanic landscape or a row of ancient, weathered books standing on a shelf. It features hundreds of thin, vertical ridges that create a beautiful sense of movement across the wall.
The real drama comes from the color: the tops of the ridges are a clean, stony white, while the deep “canyons” between them are stained a rich, smoky black. This creates a bold “pinstripe” effect that changes as you move around the room. It’s a powerful, moody statement piece that brings a sense of edge and handcrafted luxury to a minimalist living room or a modern office space.
Medium: High-density mineral plaster with charcoal-infused pigments on a modular structural base
Technique: Hand-folded “accordion” relief; the plaster is sculpted into thin, vertical fins with jagged, irregular edges to mimic the look of stacked shale or cooling lava
Finish: A high-contrast “smoke-and-bone” finish featuring a natural off-white face with deep, hand-painted charcoal-black staining along the recessed edges
Form: A square-format wall sculpture composed of rhythmic, vertical “shards” that vary in height and depth
