Time Machine by David Liang – Travertine Marble

Time Machine in brown travertine is a contemporary marble sculpture by David Liang (b. 1976), shaped by hand and polished to a soft sheen. The warm, sand-brown stone carries fine reddish veins and the natural open pores of travertine.

The looping form gives shape to a wormhole: the theoretical link in space-time that brings two distant points of the universe together, as if time and space were folded. A large arched window and a smaller opening beneath a narrow bridge form a gateway between two worlds, and a funnel-shaped hollow is worked into one flank. The flowing lines draw the eye through the stone, setting past, present and future on a single line.

Every piece is carved by Liang himself, entirely by hand, joining a sound knowledge of art history to technical skill. The loop rises from an oval foot cut from the same travertine. It is an original work by a living artist, signed, and edition 1 of 6.

At 60 cm high and only 15 cm wide, the travertine version suits a low plinth set in front of a window, where daylight passes through both openings and picks out the red veining.
