Our focus was on the negative pattern that is left behind in the marble blocks once the core drilling has been completed.
The machinery at Marmoles Covarrubius determined the size of the pattern and the dimensions of the overall object whereas with the manual use of the machinery over the x and y axes we were able to guide the sequence of extractions around the perimeter of the marble block in a more organic way.
The result is Broca, a long bench in Grey Camberi, a local marble to Marmoles Covarrubius that aims to explore the mechanical aesthetics of marble machinery.
