By Grzegorz Kiernicki

Carved and made entirely by the artist.

The Story

A figure emerges from the stone rather than being applied to it — Grzegorz carved into the natural form until it found a face. Mounted entirely in 14K gold, it is one of the few works in the archive where the metal is allowed to be as rich as the carving.

About This Work

Carved from natural stone as a figurative relief and mounted entirely in 14K gold — collar, stopper and suspension work all hand-fabricated. One of very few works in the archive where the metal is as rich as the carving.

Entirely carved, fabricated and finished by Grzegorz Kiernicki. Each vessel is a unique work created by the artist by hand.
