Habitats - Marguerite Elliot - Rift, 2014

84 x 24 x 10", Patinated Steel, Stones

Rift is a steel sculpture that explores the concept of separation and connection. The vertical steel panel, with its jagged fissure running through the center, suggests the raw power of geological forces. Small white stones, displayed on shelves, symbolize a sense of balance and fragility. This piece is a shrine to our abiotic environment.
