The Cork-born artist Dorothy Cross has — in making her unique artworks — used materials as diverse as cowhides, taxidermied sharks and birds, a human heart and an Egyptian mummy. The quarries at Carrara are renowned for the quality of their marble — Michelangelo carved most of his iconic sculptures from the white statuario produced there — but the local craftsmen also work in stone imported from all over the world.
