The Omega Stretch, produced for Christian Andersson's exhibition at von Bartha Gallery in Basel ('Kitbash Tales', 12 February - 30 April, 2022) originates from a 3D model provided by the artist, which was CNC-routed in coralina stone and hand-finished: this sedimentary marine stone, made of coral and shell fossils, coral sand and limestone, is a direct link to the "fossil foreshadowing our anthropocene" emerging from the general shape of the stone.
