Tower I

Centmayer, Marcus

I made this statue out of a piece of Lanhelin granite from Normandy. This material, a bluish, finely crystalline granite, was used in the region as early as the Middle Ages, for example on Mont St. Michel.
Prolonged exposure to air, sun and salt water leads to redness and rust. This is how the blue-red gradient came about. If this process goes on for thousands of years, the stone will eventually crumble on earth.
For us, archetypes made of hard stone for identity and stability - for eternity - are a human fiction given the cycle of rocks.
