A MARBLE… WEDDING DRESS

sukniaThe project of a marble wedding dress was completed a year ago. Then, a 33-year-old Alasdair Thomson hit into an idea of creating a sculpture that would be different from all sculptures which had been made before.

This unusual work of art was being made for more than 12 weeks. A 33-year-old Alasdair Thomson is the author of this stone sculpture. The Scottish sculptor chose Bianco Carrara marble which was imported from Italy. The artist made a dress out of 12-tonne stone block. The monument is, of course, an exact copy of a wedding dress hanging on a female mannequin. The artist reproduced every, even a very small, detail on the stone surface. He spent 10 hours a day to make this incredibly realistic monument. The sculpting process was long and time-consuming because the artists wanted to depict all, even the tiniest, folds that we can see on the surface of the original. Another step included preparing a wooden part of the sculpture depicting a female’s neck and a part of a female body. Later on, Thomson joined this element to the marble dress and the granite pedestal.
