The surface is where the piece is made or lost. Each casting is finished by hand with a natural earth mineral wash, worked into the deep relief of the leaves and then drawn back off the raised edges, so the recesses hold shadow and the ridges catch light in the pale, chalky way that quarried stone does after a century outdoors. The grain is deliberately open. Under a raking light the plaster reads as geology, not as a coating.

It belongs to interiors already speaking in mineral and shadow: limewashed walls, unlacquered brass, a floor with some age in it.

Most sculpture chooses a side: closed and dormant, or open and finished. This one refuses the choice.
