The Quill
Weightlessly, the quill brings words soaring on the spirit of prayer and protection. In Islam, the quill is thought to have been created from light one thousand years before God created anything else. Also a symbol of predestination, the quill writes words imbued with a spiritual and ancient guidance.
Sculptor Agelio Batle honors some of nature's most exquisite forms in this series of graphite objects. His reverence for organic shapes grew from formal studies in biology and art, but countless hours in the wilderness gave the artist an intimate understanding of nature's geometry. The objects in this series are a testament to that insight.
Batle sees these objects as sculpture, but they are also fully functional drawing tools. All of their surfaces can write!
