Fumarole pairs natural stone with hand-brushed aluminium tube. Each stone is chosen and studied to find the right position for the tube, then drilled with a diamond bit; the tube is cut to suit the stone and set in place with clear epoxy, making the joint watertight, and the base is sanded so the piece sits flat. Shorter tubes hold a candle, while longer ones also serve as a vase for a single stem. Like the volcanic vents it is named after, each is an opening in the rock, and no two are alike.
