"Floating Island" represents a contemporary interpretation of Suiseki. This mixed media work appears in the book " Small Stones - Worlds Apart" by Thomas Elias, VSANA, 2021, page 268.
This work is one of a number of Suiseki works dating from 2016 to the present. The stone is meant to evoke a visual simulcrum of large-scale landforms.

Suiseki is generally practiced with found stone. I have chosen to use a nontraditional medium to evoke the feeling of a far-off mountain. When expanding one's visual scale, the mind envisions conceptual reality.
In this piece the natural undulations of the pearl and rock are meant to evoke mountainous islands. The smooth texture and luster of the pearl playing against the craggy, matte surface of the rock acts as a conceptual counterpoint to suggest a deeper meaning to the juxtaposition which may or may not be there..

In this piece the surface of the acrylic sculpture is meant to evoke a snow-covered mountain topography. Conceptually, the piece was inspired by Japanese Suiseki.
