R2096 Caleta

Caleta R2096 and R2099 draw their inspiration from rocks Colin encountered while trekking on a volcanic island in the Atlantic. Through the lost wax casting technique, he captured the rocks' natural textures, carefully modeling them into the sculptural forms in wax before casting. The pieces were realized in optical glass, resulting in remarkable clarity and pristine light transmission that creates internal reflections and refractions of the textural elements. The striking turquoise accents come from a copper patina, which Colin melted into the glass during the casting process. Each piece underwent an extensive two-week annealing period after casting, followed by meticulous cold-working, grinding, and polishing to achieve their final, refined state.
