This
is how I have decided to finish and treat the surface of two of the stone seed forms.
The Kilkenny Limestone can be very effective
when attempting to suggest an ‘inside’ and ‘outside’ or inner and outer skin quality
to a sculpture. British sculptor Peter Randell Page uses this stone
type a lot for that particular reason, especially when working with natural and
organic forms. It is achieved here by simply contrasting a rough ‘punch marked’
surface with a polished interior. The beauty I find with this material is the
change in colour, from the subtle greys and blues to the sparkling fossilised
black centre. All the Irish Blue Limestone in this project has been provide by McKeon Stone, Ireland.
