marble blocks
Sculptor's raw material
Marble blocks are large rectangular pieces of marble quarried for construction or sculpture.
The term evokes classical architecture and monumental stonework—columns, facades, statuary.
The sculptor selected marble blocks from the quarry in Carrara.
Marble blocks suggest permanence and craftsmanship, the raw material from which temples and masterpieces emerge.
