Reclining Stone is a variation on the reclining figure in the history of art. It references the work of sculptor Henry Moore (1898-1986) who used the reclining human form as a starting point for his large sculptures that became almost completely abstract. The artist has carved the work so that the mineral variations in the stone highlight the “head” and “knees”.
