Marble

Paradise Reclaimed 2 is from a series of sculptures carved in reclaimed pieces of marble, recovered from the scrap that lies around Italian workshop yards.
The title of the series points to the astonishing beauty that lay hidden in the scrap material, now no longer lost to us. The title also references John Milton's epic poems 'Paradise Lost' and 'Paradise Regained' and to the second Genesis story (2:4-2:25) from the Hebrew Bible. Each piece in the series has its aesthetic foundations in the circle and it is intended that the variegations of the marble suggest something of the complexities of the human mind, as well as something universal or elemental in the material world.
