Marble - Undercurrent

Produced By:

Year:

2023

'Undercurrent’, defined as a current of water below the surface moving in a different direction from any surface current, refers to the dichotomy within Amy Thai’s work as a floral-artist and sculptor. ‘Undercurrent’ presents a group of medium-sized sculptures made of marble, which capture the organic forms as they can be observed in Venice, a city that is deeply engaged with the powerful force of nature. The heavy marble blocks that originate in the mountains of Carrara, have been brought to Venice and released into fleeting shapes, inspired by the lightness and sound of the surrounding water. In this process, Amy’s ‘undercurrent’ emerges and takes shape within the marble, a powerful and strong material, which is able to withstand her intensity.


Exhibited Work:
Three marble sculptures, up to 30 cm high and up to 50 cm wide, each made of two elements.
