Linking Communities to the Stars
INSTALLATION:
The appropriateness and suitability of the materials used to construct StarDisc were intensely deliberated. The use of black stone to evoke the night sky and contrast the highlighted stars and other features carved into its surface was a central design feature. I also required a contrasting stone to surround the star chart but wanted to avoid mixing materials. A combination of black and silver granite was the ideal solution. The use of limestone, although native to Derbyshire, would have seriously compromised quality, endurance, aesthetics and artistic intent. |
