In this interview, 2010 MacArthur Fellow Elizabeth Turk explains how she transforms her signature medium of marble into strikingly intricate, seemingly weightless objects that defy expectations of a traditionally heavy material. While her past artistic projects have involved works in metal, glass, and porcelain, as well as drawings, photography, and video, Turk has focused on marble in her major series of works where she is pushing the physical limits of her material and reviving a classical medium for contemporary artistic exploration.
