Andrés Monnier is a Mexican Artist, born in Guadalajara and now based in Ensenada.
His purpose is to create sculptural pieces to express stories through the synergy between art, design and sculpture. This collection is inspired by Greek Mythology, with natural rock and form at its core. A DIVERGENT BOUNDARY OCCURS WHEN TWO TECTONIC PLATES MOVE AWAY FROM EACH OTHER. ALONG THESE BOUNDARIES, EARTHQUAKES ARE COMMON AND MAGMA (MOLTEN ROCK) RISES FROM THE EARTH’S MANTLE TO THE SURFACE, SOLIDIFYING TO CREATE NEW OCEANIC CRUST. IF WE LIVE IN A FRACTAL UNIVERSE, IS THERE ANY RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN NATURAL PHENOMENA AND HUMAN MIND? ANY CONNECTION WITH NEUROPLASTICITY? EACH ROCK COUNTER-TOP REPRESENT HUMAN INDIVIDUALITY. A UNIQUE WAY TO BE, BUT ALWAYS CONNECTED TO A SYSTEM. FOR THIS PIECE TO BE REAL AND FUNCTIONAL, IT MOST BE CONNECTED TO A BASE (STRUCTURE) MADE WITH METAL (AVAILABLE ON THE GROUND AND SOIL). EACH PIECE MUST BE ASSEMBLE WITH EACH OTHER IN ORDER TO BE A "ONE". A NUMBER ONE COMPOSED BY INFINITE DECIMALS, TO SERVE ITS EXISTENCIAL PURPOSE AND DESIGN: A TABLE.... DOES THIS SOUNDS FAMILIAR? Available in all standard finishes with custom materials and sizing available upon request.

EXPECTED LEAD TIME     18/22 WEEKS
