Snettisham by Lucy Unwin, Portuguese Pink Marble, Unique, 57cm high, 37cm wide, 54cm deep, Nature sculpture
Snettisham by Lucy Unwin is a unique and elegant sculpture carved from Portuguese pink marble. Measuring 57cm high, 37cm wide, and 54cm deep, the piece takes the form of a spiral cone shell, its smooth curves and subtle lines capturing the natural geometry found in marine life.
Unwin expertly shapes the marble to evoke the organic flow of a seashell, highlighting both the delicacy and strength inherent in its structure. The soft pink hue of the stone adds a gentle warmth, while natural veining gives the sculpture a tactile richness. Set on a crisp white base, the spiral form appears to rise and turn effortlessly, as though caught in a quiet moment of movement.
Despite its solid material, Snettisham feels fluid and alive. The spiral, a symbol of growth, continuity, and the infinite, is rendered with both precision and sensitivity. This form, often found in nature and echoed throughout art history, lends the work a timeless quality.
Named perhaps in reference to the coastal town of Snettisham, the sculpture evokes the serenity of seaside landscapes and the treasures found within them. Altogether, this signed marble sculpture combines elegance, craftsmanship, and symbolism, making it a striking focal point and a contemplative homage to nature’s enduring design.
