July 1996. Bronze, granite. Dimensions: 92 × 43 × 30 in (234 × 109 × 76 cm).
saxum velum - loosely translated from Latin: stone sail
Typically a 'sail' takes it form from wind current - a very ephemeral force. In Saxum Velum the sail is granite, completely antithetical.
This inherent irony creates a compelling visual, conceptual and gravitational tension common in much the artist’s work.
