Umgedreht is my first attempt at working with and learning the craft of stone carving during a stay in Carrara, Italy. Umgedreht consists of a sculptural piece made from Carrara marble and a series of drawings. The shapes of the sculpture emerged through an intuitive carving process, guided by the natural materiality of the stone and the inherent characteristics and traces left from the stone mining. The drawings evolved after the creation of the sculpture, reversing the classical process of sketching before making.
