Slate sculpture DARK PLANET

gardenfor public space

SHOOTING STARS Dark Planet garden sphere is made from hundreds of irregular black puddle stones, painstakingly fixed together to form a unified whole. Thus, raw nature is transformed into geometry, creating a play between the tactile and the visual. At dusk, light permeates through the fissures between the stones, illuminating Dark Planet's core to dramatic effect. This Dark Planet is created from hundreds of Welsh slate pieces to form a perfect sphere. This smooth, tactile garden sphere made of polished puddle stones is transformed after dark by a subtle inner light. Diameters available: 76cm, 100cm, 120cm, 160cm. For more sculptures made from black puddle stones, see the Kernel, a sphere with a stainless steel wedge cut into it, or the Sky Planet, a hemisphere with steel sky mirrors. The Dark Planet is also available as a fountain.
