“When you give someone something special, you have to wrap it carefully with special paper and ribbons to show that it has special value, even if it’s only small. The stone is the ribbons, the enclosed central space is the special thing inside.”
Charles creates pleasingly simple, uncluttered and very striking sculptures, and this is a super example of his work. Its sinuous flow gives it interest from every angle, so it’s a great centrepiece. Additionally, it’s a very versatile size, suitable for indoor or outdoor display.
Springstone is a hard variety of serpentine stone. Its tiny grains and even internal structure make it a perfect sculpture medium. Especially so for artists like Charles, where he removes substantial amounts of the raw stone to create ‘negative space’ in the complex forms he creates.
This variety, with a speckling of paler stone crystals, comes from the Impinge pass through the Great Dyke in northern Zimbabwe. It doesn’t shine to quite such a high gloss as other types of springstone.
Imperial measurements are:
21 1/2″ x 18 1/2″ x 14 1/5″ and weight 103 3/5lbs
