Small Graphite Object: Olive Branch

To Batle Studio, it's not the pencil that draws, it's your hand. Whether drawing lines or inscribing words, the act of making marks lures ideas into the physical world. Committed to making art from materials that are part of daily experience, Batle Studio objects are made from natural graphite and smudge resistant compounds, fused in specialized forms under intense pressure--any part writes, while resists staining your hands.

Inspired by his reverence of Nature, and informed by his formal studies in Art and Science, San Francisco artist Agelio Batle has created this innovative sculptural writing implement mirroring an olive branch.

Dimensions: 4 to 4.5 inches long
