Marrow: Schist

Posted on March 23, 2011July 29, 2018 by Martin Lyttle Posted in commissions, small works, vegetables

Completed a new vegetable – a marrow! Sculpted from a stone found in the garden. Its a schist of some sort, much harder to carve than limestone. It has a greenish tinge to it and the quartz vein gives it interest.

Dimensions: 1.5 ft, heavy!!

Sold: Private collection.

I LOVE this Martin, I think it might be my all time favourite (along with the Adnet apple possibly?)! Excuse the identical comment under your last post, something fully happening and couldn’t get it in the right place at the beginning.
