Queen

This piece is in response to a challenge that I set myself. After attending the sculpting workshop at Yebo I set a creative goal to form a complete chess set. The white side will be formed from Oamaru Stone and the black side will be on cast cement bases finished with mosaic materials. One down, several more to go! Do make contact if you wish to commission this work.

This Oamaru stone sculpture is suitable for both indoors and out. It has rubber feet to protect furniture and sealant to ward off the elements. ‘Thing’ is a shadow play piece with contours and recesses to respond to changing light through the day. Lovely gift sized sculpture.

Anlya

Available | Exhibited | $380

This piece shows block representations of hands and face cupped together. Voluptuous curves sit cross legged as Anlya takes up a thinking pose. This squat figure would be great in a shadowy corner of the garden. Let light and shadows play on the sculpted form to add interest to your landscape.

Influenced, with permission, by the work of Brazilian sculptor and dear friend Leya T. Rochz who I had great pleasure in introducing to Oamaru stone.

Testimonial

Hi, Thanks for asking, a couple of years ago I started making “soft stone’ sculptures (cement based) mixing and setting the base materials myself… I was under the impression that Oamaru stone was a very hard stone to work with. However finding your auction on trade me, it spurred me on to try Oamaru stone, and I must say I was more than surprised to find how easy it was to carve, much easier than cement based work! With cement sculpture I only had a small window of opportunity to finish a carving before the cement was too hard, now that I have a baby and can’t dedicate the time like I used to, I find the Oamaru stone a much more flexible medium!

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to re-ignite my passion! I have really enjoyed working with the stone. Do you have more stone available and if so, what sizes?

Thanks very much

Christina
