Ghigos - Pietre Trovanti - Centrepiece, Sculpture, Decorative object - Barracuda

BARRACUDA - decorative element, centrepiece, fruit stand in silver black rosewood marble. In some scraps, we sometimes identify zoomorphic shapes. And so, according to what the stone and its shape suggest, we decide about its processing. In this case, the processing consists of slow and alternating operations with the milling machine: small subtractions of matter turn a broken rock into a decorative item or a fruit bowl. Then the object receives a light satin finish. Someone will see the skin of a rhino, an elephant or a crocodile.
