Description
Carved from Indian Black Granite, a partial sphere with two larger hemispherical shapes suggestive of a sliced fruit, a peach for instance, each has a hemispherical void in its centre that matches the smaller sphere which is itself suggestive of the fruit stone. Contrast is provided by polished and unpolished surfaces.

It was the hardest stone the artist had ever worked with. Counihan wanted the simple organic shapes to contrast with the hard rectilinear 'modernist' architecture of Gordon House
