This is an original and unique work of art by one of the world’s most creative Letterwork Sculptors and will look magnificent both inside and out. Carving an extract from the sheet music for John Cage’s “4 minutes 33 seconds”, where the audience listens attentively to the world around them, and above all to silence. His works draw upon the outside world, atmosphere, foreign sounds, and unpredictability.
The text around the edge reads: “A strange art – music – the most poetic and precise of all the arts, vague as a dream and precise as algebra” (a quote from Guy de Maupassant)
The distinctive green colour of this slate was created from the metamorphosed volcanic ash of the Borrowdale Volcanic group of mountains found in the heart of the English Lake District. The chloride in the deposits gives this slate its beautiful colour.
