Cut by hand from a single block of marble, the Hypnos Head on Metal Plinth carries the marks of the carver rather than the sameness of a mold. The features of the Greek god of sleep are softened and inward-looking, which is exactly the stillness the subject calls for. A metal plinth grounds the stone, gives the head a formal base, and lifts it clear of whatever else is on the surface. Classical in subject and quiet in effect, it belongs in rooms where things are meant to slow down.
