Rock Sculpture on Tiered Steel Plinths, Paris Gallery

5 October 2017 · Paris

Three raw stones rest on a stepped black steel structure inside a Paris gallery, each elevated to a different height as though ranked by some logic only the sculptor knows. The geometry of the display — clean right angles, dark metal, ascending tiers — does the opposite work of the stones themselves: industrial precision holding geological accident. A window behind the installation opens onto rooftops, pulling daylight into a room built to contain quiet things.
