About The Artwork
Carved from Chinese Fluorite mined in the Hunan Province of China, Nia is an Arabic name meaning purpose or intent, and refers to an Islamic concept: the intention in one's heart to do an act for the sake of God. Nia was the first block of Chinese Fluorite I carved and I wanted to see what I could do with it; carving the stone to determine its workability – how thin could I carve it, what shapes work best, does it want to be carved to follow a mobius line, does the crystal structure of the fluorite support my intent?
