Jeff Edwards – Sea Spiral
Sea Spiral by Jeff Edwards
Marble Sculpture
Approximately 11″ x 11″ x 8″
$1800
The spiral is one of the most mysteriously beutiful shapes in the universe, and it is also one of the most commen. From spiral galaxies to ocean waves to the structure of DNA, nature uses the spiral to succinctly encode complex information into meaningful relationship.
In the flowing lines of this small, elegant sculpture, Edwards captures nature’s spiral at the moment of its origin. Is it coincidence that we humans find this shape so beautiful?

It’s no secret that this particular piece is one of my favorites. It’s quite thin, and well registered, but it’s the outer oxidized and sun bleached edge of the boulder that Jeff has used so purposely to accentuate the shape of this sea spiral that is so impressive. Jeff is a crab fisherman and his connection and love for the ocean is quite apparent in his marine mammal sculptures, but this form is more stylised, perhaps more refined than the naturalist pieces.
