LUNAR ELLIPSE

Lunar Ellipse carved from Yorkshire stone.

The ellipse makes reference to the Luna Cycle, the waning moon and the undulating forms refer to the ribbed shapes left in the sand by the outgoing tide. Stone is a natural material varied and individual. in this piece I have exploited a natural 'flaw' in the stone to create a two-tone texture to part of the sculpture, reminiscent of a luna landscape
