The sweeping curves of Cuore Rosa were hewn from Persian Red Travertine, one of the most seductively colored stones that nature has on offer. Though clearly modeled with the quintessential shape of a heart in mind, the work transforms the simple mark into something dimensional, multivalent, and fluid.

“The work was personal for Jack and Suzy,” Richard recalls of the commission. “Cuore Rosa is a marriage of emotion and material, merging the passion of the red stone and a beating heart with the buoyancy of water for an uplifting, almost bubbly feeling.”
