Named after Ceres, the Roman goddess of the harvest and fertility, these vessels take their form from the cornucopia or horn of plenty with which she was often depicted.

The Ceres Vessels were developed during my time spent in Pietrasanta, Tuscany. All three are carved from the same block of rare Paonazzo marble. This marble is from a seam in Carrara that is known for its particularly high translucency.

The form and final dimensions are in many ways dictated by the shape of the natural quarried stone. The carving process is one of constant dialogue with the piece, as the natural qualities and flaws of the stone are slowly revealed during the carving process.
