Stone with its own landscape

What caught my attention was the space between the rougher areas. There are quieter stretches where the eye can rest, then an edge, a recess, a change in depth. As the camera moves, those relationships become more apparent. Light picks up one part while another falls into shadow.

It connects with something I explore in my own relief porcelain designs: how much can happen within the depth of a surface? A small projection can interrupt the light. A hollow can hold darkness. Repeated across a wall, these details begin to influence the feeling of a room.

With this stone, I’m interested in that relationship between stillness and movement. I can imagine spending time deciding where it belongs, which direction the light comes from, and how closely people will encounter it. Those decisions are part of working with the material.
