Fracture Table
This 10 foot table is composed of natural quartzite, a natural stone harder than marble, hand polished aluminum and gypsum cement, an extremely hard plaster. The sculptural bases are cast in plaster, with glimpses of polished aluminum reflecting light from the inside of the stone-like masses. The soft free-form quartzite table top is cleaved into two planes, revealing a third polished aluminum plane in between. The three materials dialogue together, referencing various states of manufactured matter. The fully functional sculptural piece offers shifting reflective and physical qualities as one moves around it.
