TENERE - ‘To Hold’
Italian ‘Volterra’ Alabaster
This Italian ‘Volterra’ alabaster is described as a mineral made of light. It is extremely delicate but the stone spoke to me so I carved it. Instead of releasing my traditional 3 loop trefoil from the stone, I explored creating a more interconnected piece. The struts are pathways which connect with the loops to create a more contemporary piece. I love the result of this fusion of ideas. The name Tenere is latin/Italian for ‘to hold.’ The struts are like arms, holding the piece from the inside giving the viewer a feeling of elasticity in the stone.
