KYPROS - ‘Copper’

Cypriot Alabaster

Cyprus got its name from copper deposits on the island. They have been mining copper there since 4000 BC., and the Roman’s copper supply came primarily from Cyprus. As I began to carve this Cypriot Alabaster, I could see the copper-colored striations in the stone. I decided to accent those copper areas by carving around them. The shape that emerged from the stone is reminiscent of the sails on boats I saw in the Mediterranean. Can you imagine those Sirocco winds blowing through my work?
