This piece was created in 15 days during the annual marble carving symposium called Marble/Marble. The piece was carved in the forest amongst the remnants of the discarded parts and pieces of our nation's monuments in Washington DC. The marble material was sourced from the same quarry as the marble used to make the Washington monuments in Marble, CO.
About Marble/Marble Symposium
MARBLE/marble is a place where people of all ages and abilities gather to carve marble in a non-competitive, culturally diverse atmosphere of camaraderie and sharing. Get acquainted with artists from every corner of the globe—from India to Africa, Europe, and Asia while you learn to carve stone under the guidance of top-tier artists and a team of highly skilled support staff.
Symposium participants receive a block of beautiful Colorado Yule marble, a fully-equipped outdoor carving site in a spectacular setting, daily open-forum classes, demos and workshops, and unlimited use of symposium tools. Instructors are available throughout the workshop for one-on-one coaching, helping each participant tailor their own unique approach to stone carving.

About Marble CO:
In 1930, however, the Yule-Colorado company was awarded the most prestigious marble contract of the time—that of the block for the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. After two failed attempts to quarry a “perfect” block the third try succeeded. This was, at the time, the largest block of marble ever quarried in the world. It then took workers another 4 days to get this 56 ton block of marble down the mountain. The block was loaded onto a rail car and shipped to Vermont for cutting and then to Arlington Cemetery for carving, where it still resides today.
The Yule Marble quarry closed in 1941 as a result of declining demand and the entry of the United States into WWII. Much of the equipment and railroad was scrapped and used in the war effort. The population of Marble continued to decline…down to a population of 1 in the 1950s (schoolteacher Teresa Herman). But the beautiful valley did not remain a ghost town for long, attracting tourists, retirees and even a failed ski area development in the late 1960s and early 1970s. In 1990 the quarry was reopened.
