California Verde Figure

A celebration of rich, California verde marble, perched on a Belgian, black limestone base. This wedge of ancient, verde antique marble features a burst of translucence that follows a quartz trail down the length of the piece. It’s almost as though the stone fashioned a crystal tear, which spilled down the face. One third of the stone is left untouched, while the remaining two-thirds are highly polished to highlight the rich, deep, olive green of the marble. The pedestal is Oklahoma, treebark sandstone with four unique sides. Two sides appear to be like smooth sheets of lumber, while the rear panel has a rich, layered, golden tobacco-brown bark. The front, however, is alive with lichen and microscopic mosses that make the “bark” step out when wet; therefore, the back and sides have been treated with sealer, but not the front. The front is alive, and gets watered about once a week. All components turn.
