The name Roliqueryä came up after months of “namestorming” for this product. While first mentioned as a joke, we realized “that’s it!” Since then, the term has expanded to include:

Roliquerist – one who exhibits them

Roliquerium – its special sandbox

Roliqueried,-ing – the act of using

Roliquerian – An enthusiast

Roliquery ä Art & Accessories

A Roliquery ä begins with a limestone ball that is hand-carved with an original design. For an interactive art experience, roll it in sand to create ephemeral and renewable sculptural patterns.

Limited edition casts of each original Limestone Roliquery ä are cast in Bonded Mineral or Bronze. Roliqueries can be displayed indoors or outdoors and come in 7 and 12 inch sizes. Bonded Mineral casts are limited to 100 editions while bronze casts are limited to 25 editions. Each Roliquery ä comes with a Certificate of Authenticity signed by the artist.

Roliquery ä accessories include a variety of displays, for indoor or outdoor use, made from cherry, maple, black lacquer or stainless steel.




Roliquery ä Materials
 



Limestone

For Amy, nothing has the integrity of stone. Every Roliquery ä begins with Amy’s original carving in Indiana limestone. Her technique is grounded in traditional handwork. She starts with a perfectly turned ball, carving all the designs by hand, without the use of power tools. There’s a sense of history and memory implicit in Indiana limestone: its sedimentary layers are filled with the fossils of millions of tiny prehistoric creatures.

Bronze

Bronze is beautiful and timeless. Amy’s pieces are cast using a traditional lost-wax method, using high grade molds made from the carved limestone originals. The hand-applied patina accentuates all the depth and detail. Bronze is wonderful to touch, and every touch adds to the deeper patina that it acquires over time.

Bonded Mineral

Bonded Mineral Roliqueries, in white or buff, feel and act like stone. It offers the best of both worlds: the crisp detail, strong form and durability of the carved originals, with a much faster delivery time and more affordable pricing.
