About this work
Alex Mylona’s drawing shows clean, sharp lines in black ink. The page has four geometric shapes, each simple and bold. No curves, no extra details.
These aren’t finished sculptures. They’re plans—sketches to guide later marble carving. Mylona liked marble’s natural shine but wanted shapes that felt right in it.
