Sodi's rocks are ceramic glazes over real igneous rocks, transformed through a highly physical processes. Sodi extracted volcanic magma from the Ceboruco volcano in Mexico and selected each rock for its formal qualities, before glazing the brittle surface and firing the sculpture at extremely high temperature for three days. By altering the surface texture and the context in which the rocks exist (the streets of London, in this case), Sodi reflects on our perception of value and antiquity. He creates a mismatch between the setting and the course, and the surface and core, of each piece. Looking south-southeast.
