BALANCE

An Oyster shell, with Gilded Inner, Rests on a Granite Pebble on a Slate Base.
H. 8 cms. W. 14 cms. D. 14 cms.

The gilded shell, tide-poised on a pebble was inspired by a shoreline walk.

The piece expresses the precious and fragile moment of equilibrium contrasted with Nature's explosive forces which produced the Granite pebble and the compression which produced the Slate.
