Ascension in Stillness
Ascension in Stillness is a one-of-one geometric sculpture carved from Pacific White Marble sourced in British Columbia. Standing approximately 20 inches tall, 13 inches wide, and weighing roughly 40 pounds, the work is constructed from a deliberate interplay of raw, fractured edges and precisely cut, architectural planes.
The contrast between untouched natural surfaces and sharply refined edges creates a visual dialogue between geological time and human intervention. Prominent natural veining runs throughout the marble, unapologetically visible, reinforcing the stone’s metamorphic origin and emphasizing its organic, unrepeatable character. No two planes carry the same markings, ensuring this piece exists as a singular expression of material and form.
Light activates the sculpture continuously, catching on polished faces while dissolving into shadow along the raw edges, giving the work a sense of upward movement and quiet strength. The composition reads as both modern and ancient, echoing monolithic forms, architectural spires, and natural stone outcroppings shaped over millennia.
As a collector of organic, raw metamorphic stone, the artist preserves the integrity of the material while guiding it into a contemporary geometric language. Ascension in Stillness stands as an original, non-replicable work intended for collectors and spaces that value authenticity, material honesty, and sculptural presence.

Carved from Pacific White Marble sourced in British Columbia, Ascension in Stillness explores the relationship between natural geology and contemporary geometric form. The sculpture juxtaposes raw, fractured edges with precisely cut planes, allowing prominent marble veining to remain visible and integral to the composition. The work reflects both the permanence of metamorphic stone and the deliberate intervention of the artist, creating a quiet yet powerful vertical presence.
