Pebble - circa 2015 - Hwang Samyong, Korean, born 1960. The creation of this work started with a collection of pebbles that the artist found in a river. He selected a few for enlargement, reproducing their shapes in fiberglass. For their embellishment Hwang chose mother-of-pearl - a substance found inside shells such as abalones. #pebble #hwang #hwangsamyong #korean #fiberglass #motherofpearl #philadelphia #philadelphiamuseumofart
