Named for a turning point in its creation, On The Cusp embodies the delicate balance between intention and discovery in the sculptor’s craft. During its carving, an unforeseen blemish deep within the marble shifted the artist’s original design—and in doing so, revealed an entirely new possibility.
What began as a uniformly deep bowl was transformed by this spontaneous moment into a dramatic, sweeping cutaway. Rather than resist, Martin Cooney embraced the marble’s interruption, allowing the stone to guide the evolution of the piece. The result is a sculpture that speaks not only to form, but to process—a collaboration between artist and material.
On The Cusp is a testament to the beauty of direct carving and the unpredictable magic that comes with letting the stone have its say.
