Slate sculpture by Stephen Kettle Bashny.Net

Sculptures of stone, granite, limestone and marble all have long become boring — so why not take as the main material is brittle, laminated shale coal?





Apparently this argument was guided by the British sculptor Stephen kettle, when for the first time decided to test their art in such an unusual material.

Steven takes thin pieces of slate and literally "builds" his sculptures.









Steven has created some realistic busts of great men, the most striking of which can be called a shale statue of Churchill, although it is difficult to single out any specific work Cattle and say that it is better than others — all the master's sculptures are extremely detailed and cost him a long and painstaking labors.





The most famous work Kettle is in the British Bletchley Park. It depicts a seated at the table with developed by the computing machine of Alan Turing, a famous English mathematician, at the time, had a significant impact on the development of computer science during the Second World war who worked in the Bletchley Park — British data center — on deciphering the code of the infamous Enigma

Slate statue of Turing weighs half a ton, and its establishment of Stephen Kettle gone a year and a half.
