| Description: |
Direct carving is a very intimate experience in which the artist liberates the forms inherent in a particular piece of stone (or wood) by working with the properties of that stone i.e., the grain, crystal structure, texture, hardness, fault lines, shape, etc. Working within the specific limits of each piece of stone the goal is to create a sculpture that moves outside its own boundaries. |
