She, 2010, onyx

"Occupying a room to itself is a sculpture carved from a large single block of Persian onyx. To acquire the stone, Šarčević travelled to the ancient Silk Route city of Yazd in central Iran, from where the block of raw stone was transported by road to Britain for carving and finishing. Precisely worked with rectangular, square cut shapes and cavities, it suggests a semi-functional form, while its sensuous materiality and ambiguous purpose lends a disquieting presence.
The interplay of shape and man-made geometry effects properties of change and transformation, while revealing the fundamentally unchanged and highly aesthetic qualities of this rich and elemental material. Its presence offers a constant reflection on sculptural tensions: fragility and resilience, weight and gravity, shape and texture, geometric and organic form, organic and mineral flesh."
