We are always excited when an artist translates her/his personal language through a new medium or material. It's like listening to a familiar piece of music played on a different instrument - the individual voice remains, but is given fresh dimension and flavor by the incorporation of the new. Sculptor Boaz Vaadia has given us exactly this experience in his new work from Basalt Columns. Known for his work in bronze and Bluestone, the new material opens up possibilities for wonderful exploration in future.
Boaz says this about the work: "I am excited about
those pieces as they incorporate a new stone that I have not used before:
Basalt Column that was formed naturally by volcanoes. I am very excited
about this new body of work and I am still learning how to work with the
Basalt Columns."
