Cipollino Fold

Cipollino Rosso arrives already striped — bands of iron red laid down as the rock was folded underground. This work follows those bands rather than cutting across them, so the carved fold reads as a continuation of the geology instead of an intervention in it.

The piece was cut from one slab; the two faces were bookmatched and rejoined at an angle, leaving a seam that only resolves when you walk past it.
