Galaksy

Caption "In conversation, Fink admits that his representations of the cosmos are not based on scientific facts, but evolved only from his imagination. ’Today’ he says: ‘telescopic cameras take pictures of a world where explosions occurred millions of years ago. What we see no longer exists.’ These vanished entities are represented in Fink’s works by a honeycomb of holes and spaces of differing diameters, drilled through his stone to various depths. Aside from the innovative nature of this theme, a new delicacy of touch is observed in his work. Employing a mixture of carving, drilling and dense texturing of surfaces, he has produced, where appropriate, lace-like effects resembling embroidery."
