Wingface Carrara marble (2014) 彫刻 George Dapsevicius によって

. With the base it is 23 inches tall and it swivels on the base.WingFace in Carrara marble, carved on both sides, the wing side is a full face frontal view of a face, it is the features of many beautiful faces I've known. The other side with the original crystalline fracture surface is a continuation of the full face frontal face in bas-relief. The crystalline structure is something I have never seen in marble, it also indicates how hard this piece of marble is. The wing details came from the wing of a cherub, a simple classical wing I saw on a cherub in the Musee D'Orsay in Paris.
When I look at the face straight on it seems like the face is trying to look around a corner back behind itself. I found the piece of marble in a stone yard in East Oakland Ca. The fractured wedge shaped piece of marble lay on the floor of my studio for 10 years, I saw a wing in it when I I first saw it but didn't know what kind of wing, it took 10 years and 18000 miles to put the wing, the marble and the faces together.
It sits on a stainless steel rod set into a polished black granite base
