Several kind of cristalline constructions build these stonelike benches which are energy bound in a solid shape. In ancient cultures the representation of stones and rocks signified eternity and longevity.
Take for example the asian scape stone, a decorative tabletop stone, and searched after collector’s item, which is shaped by wind and water and seldom found in riverbeds by specialised treasure hunters. The scape stone a form of precious stone which represents human morphology or landscapes and other projection of antromorphic vision, from dentures to shoes.
The indivual parts of our outdoor sculptures rebuild stones in a sophisticated way, representing microscopic cristalline atomic patterns on a macroscopic scale, using contemporary materials, glass, plastic, and diverse metal alloys and elaborate fixations and interconnections build with elegantly proportioned spacers.
