Metamorphic Rock Bookend
Metamorphic Rock Bookend is a decorative object that is made from small pieces of stone that are cast in cement to give them 3 perpendicular sides so they can interface with a surface and a book as well as a 4th diagonal side with various materials protruding from the surface. The original bookends were made from stones that could be found on the road around the stone yards near the studio's first location at 13 Greenpoint Avenue in Brooklyn. The bookends were first designed for the Phillips de Pury Design Store located on the corner of Park Avenue and 57th Street from 2011-2012.
Production
They are made by inserting various stones into a three sided mold standing with the corner pointing down. Cement is then poured into the mold to bind all the components together.
