Ex Hale Wallpiece

At the heart of this series of wall pieces lies a defining technique of Storms’ artistic approach: two metal plates are welded together and then inflated under high pressure. The resulting shape, which resembles a cushion, is then treated as a template, with a stone replica being milled using a 3D scan of the original form. The design is thus both solid and substantial, yet also seemingly lightweight and hollow. Its apparently soft texture calls into question the essence of the stone yet enhances its hues and qualities.
