A dense, heavy fraction of island earth is violently suspended in this exploration of mechanical grip. The rigid geometry of the brass clamps down onto the porous, uneven surface of the natural granite. The beauty of this piece lies entirely in its brutal honesty—the marks of the drill and the raw edge of the stone are left completely exposed. It tells a gripping story of holding on, serving as a physical metaphor for the exhausting, constant effort required to maintain structure and order against the inevitable, slow decay of the natural environment.
