Infinity, monumental contemporary white granite sculpture by Khang Pham-New
white granite sculpture for outdoor or indoor installation. Sculpture garden ready with a connected base. Granite is durable and easy to care for and can withstand all climates. Polished surface is light grey/white.
We first saw his sculptures when they were featured in an outdoor sculpture Biennale in Vancouver with many notable and established sculptors (like Magdalena Abakanowicz, Dennis Oppenheim, Albert Paley, Bill Reid, and Yoko Ono).

Khang Pham was born in war-torn South Vietnam...
