a-68
Signed Limited Edition of 9 + 1 AP, each edition is unique
Designed to resemble drifting Banquise ice blocks, their name refers to the Larsen Ice shelf, a long ice shelf in the northwest part of the Weddell Sea, extending along the east coast of the Antarctic Peninsula - The tables are made of alabaster with acrylic legs
The a-68, once a single iceberg spanning 6 thousand square kilometers broke away in 2017 and has since disintegrated into a drifting collage of independent blocks, each gradually disappearing as ocean temperatures rise
The a-68 piece is essentially a collection of three tables providing a representation of the now scattered pieces of what was once the single iceberg
Each piece has been designed from the white alabaster coming from Volterra
The handmade legs in acrylic are a hint to stalactites originating from the melting iceberg blocks
