absence of light

 “A man must dream a long time in order to act with grandeur, and dreaming is nursed in darkness.” — Jean Genet

38w x 38h x 3.75d ground shungite stone, charcoal, plaster, sand, concrete, ground black onyx, oil housed in a handmade shou sugi ban frame (burnt to a dark char) 

"absence of light" was infused with ground shungite tone throughout the concrete layers. "the miracle stone of the 21st century" shungite is now the go-to stone for electromagnetic field (EMF) protection, purification and detoxification of the body, as well as general healing and emotional well being. shungite has been around for an estimate two billion years and is composed mostly of pure carbon. shungite is also the only known natural mineral to contain fullerenes, which are specific molecular formations of carbon that act as powerful, long-lasting antioxidants.
