Basalt Columns
Inspired by the Basalt columns in Iceland. I created an artistic abstract take on the natural phenomenon be sculpting and painting this 3D texture on a wood panel.
30.5”x50.5”
The iron and magnesium-rich basalt lava cools and contracts very quickly once exposed to the surface air and hardens as it solidifies. Iceland basalt columns are the result of this rapid cooling process that changes the chemical makeup and appearance of the lava
