Shapes of Sutherland
Oliver Spendley£95.00
Description
Is there anything more pleasingly primal than a rock that holds fire? Oliver has selected a series of boulders from his collection, grinding a stable base and creating a void for a taper candle to sit. Each has its own appeal and independent character depending on the particularities of form and geology. Our shapes here are formed of Lewisian gneiss stone, marble, quartzite, chalcedony matrix. Rock on.
