WHALE SPRIIT - Mezcal/Tequila/spirit INFUSIONER

Creator: Julio Martínez Barnetche
Offered by: Marion Friedmann Gallery

Description
This is a genius device crafted by Barnetche to infuse Mezcal, Tequila or any other spirit with natural herbs of your choice. The intriguing sculptural 'cooking apparatus' allows for a beautiful ritualistic procedure where you can infuse and spice up your artisanal Mezcal with whatever fresh (or dried) herbs you wish. The Mezcal bottle is placed upside down into the hole provided at the top. Slowly, the Mezcal will make its way through the oval inside of the volcanic stone where it runs over the herbs, gets infused by their scents, and then exits at the bottom as a 'new' variant. It is a true joy for every Mezcal or Spirit lover. Become an alchemist and get experimenting to create your own personal Mezcal infusions.

Direct carving masters in stone belong to a genre that is more and more disappearing. The work of Julio Martínez Barnetche is of high technical mastery combined with a creative fluidity that has the capacity to reveal the aesthetics hidden in the crystalline structures of the stones. Martínez Barnetche, an established pioneer of the direct carving technique, continues to stretch the limits within his three-dimensional work to new heights.
