Coral Rock Moon

Made to order keystone planter sculpture. 23” diameter 12x12” base.Inspired by coral castle, an Oolite limestone structureCreated by the Latvian-American eccentric EdwardLeedskalnin in the 1920’s during a time where there wasNo equipment to move or carve the large pieces. CoralCastle is noted for legends surrounding its creation thatClaim it was built single-handedly by Leedskalnin usingReverse magnetism or supernatural abilities to moveAnd carve numerous stones, each weighing many tons.Creating sculptural planters from this came to me as a3am thought. If Edward did it in the 1900s, how hardCan it be today? Apparently very challenging. I choseTo go with keystone, which is the bedrock found only inThe Florida keys. You can no longer excavate keystoneUnless a building is approved to break ground. TheSecond challenge was finding the fabricator who hasThe right CNC machine to cut spheres. Once again, thePlants guided me. A nursery run would give me the leadWhere I could bring my vision to life. Tears included.
