When will this end?
A gorilla is questionably looking upwards, as if asking the sky: When will this end?
Nature asks us humans; How far can you go? When will you stop? When will you understand? You are not alone on this planet.
A piece of marble fell down the Apuan mountain 1000 meters above the sea, and
was tumbled round in the river. A sculptor finds it in the dry riverbed. She sees him and with her chisels and hammer helps him come forward.
Biography
Yemisi Wilson was educated in art at Accademia di belli Arti in Florence, Italy, she spent many years carving marble in Pietrasanta. She finds her particular stones in active and abandoned quarries. Marble carries the weight of immortalising the winners of history. With great respect for the beauty and dignity of the material itself, often letting its natural form lead the way, Yemisi sculpts nature’s original, yet forgotten rulers, the animals.
