These were experimental pieces. – ie, if he ever had to use either of these materials again by commission he now knows some way to do it, and has an understanding of the medium. Its a learning and journey process.

Secondly – yes it is Carerra marble, it is actually single pieces of Carerra marble, like those used in the statue of david and other beautiful works of art. That in itself is a big thing, then couple that with the fact he has taken an age old material and made it using a modern industrial process. That i assure you has not been done to single marble pieces, at least not to make such as above.

Thirdly. The fact you cant afford the thing does not mean it is not good design or original. It’s intensely original – as is the man himself – and in case you didn’t notice it is also a museum object…. open to collectors and thats about it.

Kudos to the Aussie who’s actually producing interesting original products using interesting original methods.
