Summary:

Catalog of the exhibition of Silvia Westphalen (b. Roma, 1961, lives and works in Peru), whose sculptural work is characteristic for is the harmonious relationship of human intervention with natural objects (stone, marble, etc.). "Silvia Westphalen's sculpting technique evokes the slow action of natural forces on stone, such as the furrows created by water or erosion caused by the wind. Thus, the exceptional quality of her works makes travertine marble, onyx, or alabaster appear to have been carved buy the elements over the ages."-Page 14.
