Secret de la Pierre

Lika Mutal
In 'Secret de la Pierre', Lika Mutal demonstrates how a piece of stone can be opened without losing its strength. Heavy, block-shaped sections are connected by rounded forms that run through the work, as if the stone has been brought together from within. The exterior remains rough, while the openings have been carefully crafted. The title, The Secret of the Stone, refers to Mutal's belief that every stone has its own inner structure and history. If you look closely, you will see it.
