Monumental Block

Monumental Block

Basalt & Granite / 200 x 200 x 200 cm / 2022

A brutalist exploration of weight and permanence. This massive cubic structure combines rough-hewn texture with precision-cut geometric interlocks. It stands as a testament to the enduring power of raw stone, commanding the space around it with gravity and silence.

Technical Details

Composed of three interlocking blocks of grey basalt and granite. The total installation weight exceeds 2.5 tons. Verified for outdoor installation in all climates.

The Process

This work required heavy machinery to manipulate the blocks. The "rough" faces were created using the feather-and-wedge splitting technique to expose the natural grain of the stone, contrasting with the saw-cut smooth faces. The assembly defies gravity, holding together through friction and hidden stainless steel keying.

Artist's Note

"We build to defy time, but time always wins. This block isn't fighting time; it is waiting for it. It is an anchor. In a world of digital ephemera, this is undeniable, heavy, physical reality."
