The “Sphere with Studs,” part of Veit Korn’s “Ritual Sphere” series, is a captivating blend of natural material and meticulous craftsmanship. Sculpted from yellow quartzite sourced from the Black Forest, this unique piece features an intricate band of studs, partially adorned with copper leaf and patinated to a rich, oxidized finish. The sphere is crowned with a hand-forged steel ring and screw, adding a striking industrial accent to the design. The chiseled, bush-hammered, and polished surfaces emphasize the quartzite’s inherent warmth and strength, while the metallic details offer a modern contrast to the timeless stone. This harmonious interplay of elements evokes themes of durability, transformation, and ritual. Accompanied by a signed certificate, the “Sphere with Studs” is a testament to the enduring artistry of stone sculpture and the symbolic power of spherical forms.
