Taihu Stone

Tony Ankowicz | USA

Country of origin: China

Material: Calcite

Height: 28cm W x 56cm H x 20cm D

Base or Tray Notes: The contemporary modular base was designed as a contrast to the stone’s many curves and cavities. A core construct of square American Walnut pegs was used to seat the stone in this vertical alignment. Once the stone was stabilized in this position, additional embellishing pegs were added peripherally, for a total of 96 individual pegs.

About the stone:  This abstract Chinese stone has been balanced in a traditional vertical style
