The stone declares itself not only as a piece of nature but also as a repository of cultural meaning and the artist's unique sensibility.
Polarities repeat in the sculpture.
Polished rectangular surfaces frame deep rectangular cuts exposing original stone. Moroles's esthetic is thoroughly modern, yet he is able to lend qualities of the poetic and the mythic to his geometric, monumental forms. The work echoes the art of Hellenic Greece, Stonehenge , and Mesoamerica, but also the quietism of Noguchi and the Zen insistence that we take our cue from nature. In his push to get to the core of things, Moroles literally tears the stone apart, driving wedges and waiting for natural splitting to take place. Jutting from this natural surface is a pristine series of parallel cantilevered platforms.
