Imprint by Anon, Portland Stone on Granite Base, Unique, 140cm high by 20cm wide by 20cm deep, Abstract sculpture

Imprint is a unique minimalist sculpture crafted from Portland stone and mounted on a granite base. It stands 140cm high, 20cm wide, and 20cm deep. The work presents itself as a tall, slender block, simple in form yet deeply evocative in detail. On one side of the stone, two carved arms stretch out. They curve in opposite directions, wrapping around the surface as though pressing into it. The hands extend with fingers splayed wide, leaving the impression of touch embedded into the stone’s body.

The piece explores the tension between solidity and softness. The block appears immovable, yet the arms suggest intimacy and presence. Their gesture turns a rigid surface into something that feels momentarily pliable, as if the stone remembers touch. This interaction gives the sculpture a human quality, bridging the distance between viewer and material.

The granite base grounds the form with quiet strength. Its surface rises in a subtle pyramid, smoothed at the top where the Portland stone rests. This detail not only supports the vertical presence of the sculpture but also echoes the geometry of permanence and stability.

Through restraint in form and clarity of gesture, Imprint achieves impact. It relies on contrast, stone against flesh, permanence against fleeting touch, weight against delicacy. The result is a contemplative piece that invites reflection on memory, trace, and the human desire to leave a mark.
