Took two years to receive it because quarries were shut due to civil unrest. It’s a unique piece, part of a series. Marble series: Bianco P white marble, Rosa Portogallo pink opaque marble, crystal glass, skin like silicone, white silicone.
Punctured by the artist each is a unique pattern. Working with onyx for this piece turns a detailed work into something almost abstract in its form due to the nature of the material.

Engagement in this world is mediated tactilely as well as visually through erogenous polymorphous play. The bubble shaped forms consequently invite interpretations culled from fantasies of the body riven by drives and undifferentiated by gender in relation to regressive infantile experiences. Beautiful and sexualised through its forms, attractive to the human touch, nipple like to eye, and satisfactory in an instant.
Scarry is interested in the moment when the brain is at a blank, at a boredom with one self. Bubble Wrap was invented 50 years ago by a Swiss inventor.
