On my wanderings in the marble mountains of
Greece I saw this unusually lively-grained and colourful piece and was enchanted
by its beauty. This stone told me a story of a landscape over whose far
horizon the sun went down or will come up and where the sky has an unreal
light with wonderful colours and patterns. Through the air flies a fable-being...and
inside the horizon is a second horizon-stripe which tells its own story
-I discovered and brought forward this landscape story without interfering
with it. To deepen the feeling of a view to the horizon the stone is worked
as a large concave shape which at the upper edge is about three-times as
curved than at the underneath edge. The levels of the sky and the earth
are characterised by the different types of working, highly polished and
raw-cut.
