Graphite Object, Spindle Shell

Angelio Batle the artist who designed these objects and developed the molding and carving process by which they are made, studied biology before he began to pursue the arts full-time. It shows in the details of these remarkable writing utensils. Tiny lines in a simulated bamboo branch or the intricate spirals of a seashell create a feeling that these objects are very real and precious.
