2025

Balanced with deliberate precision, this 2025 sculpture by Woods Davy presents a carefully composed arrangement of stone on a granite pad, the work's title functioning as a timestamp that grounds the piece in a specific moment of making. Measuring 71.1 × 71.1 × 48.3 centimeters, the sculpture occupies space with quiet authority, its compact footprint belying a compositional complexity that rewards close attention. The natural materiality of the stones, each chosen and positioned with the sculptor's characteristic sensitivity to weight, form, and equilibrium, transforms geological fact into a meditative object that seems to hold its breath. Davy has spent decades refining a practice rooted in the tension between the accidental and the intentional, and this work exemplifies that ongoing investigation. The granite pad anchors the composition while the stones above it suggest fragility and transience, an almost conversational exchange between the earth-bound and the precarious. The result is a work that carries the dual registers of permanence and impermanence, speaking to collectors drawn to sculpture that operates as much through presence as through visual spectacle. Available through Scott Richards Contemporary Art and accompanied by the artist's signature, this piece represents a mature and focused moment within Davy's sustained engagement with elemental form. Its modest scale makes it well-suited to both intimate domestic environments and considered institutional settings, and its straightforward titling connects it directly to the broader series through which Davy documents his continued conversation with stone as both material and subject.
