Sourcing the Stone

An update from the quarry confirm that some of the dimension stone / cut to size pieces have been sourced and are ready as well as the large 2.4 m slab for the entrance sculpture. As more stone is being extracted daily from the quarry for specific projects I'm informed that they are still waiting on two suitable 250mm slabs for the leaf cut outs. I have provided the quarry with CAD files which will assist the stonemasons when it comes to 'milling' out the leaf design. This design was originally going to be 'wire cut' from the stone but because the slab and placement of the leaf pattern is so big, the machine is no longer suitable to accurately do the job! Instead, a more labour intensive method of milling the pattern from the stone has to be done!
This process is the same for the three spheres which form the 'Seed Stack' sculpture. As you can see below they are half complete.
