Scroll Engraving

Scroll engraving done on black slate measuring 11.5/8” x 11.5/8” x 1/4”., and weighs 3 pounds. Comes with free plate hanger.

"Scroll Engraving" invites viewers into a world of symmetrical beauty and intricate craftsmanship, etched onto a 12 x 12-inch slice of Monson, Maine black slate. This artwork captivates with its ornate mandala design, a harmonious blend of florals and swirling motifs that radiate from a meticulously detailed central core. The design's complexity lies in its delicate balance; each stylized leaf and flower seems to breathe with life, forming a cohesive circle that draws the eye inward before gently guiding it outward again.

A closer inspection reveals the sheer skill involved in creating such an intricate pattern with mere engravings. The rich, dark background of the slate serves as a perfect canvas for the intricate white etchings, which appear almost luminous by contrast. This monochromatic interplay not only enhances the visual impact of the design but also serves to highlight the artist's innovative approach to traditional art forms.

Inspired by both natural elements and the meditative quality of mandalas, this piece stands as a testament to the power of detailed artistry. It invites meditation, allowing viewers to lose themselves in its rhythm and symmetry. "Scroll Engraving" is a celebration of decorative elegance and technical precision, capturing a sense of serene timelessness that speaks to the soul.
