RE: ART MIX-UP CONTEST | 01

in #contest7 years ago

Hi Lily. Thanks for the link.

I'm submitting my piece which combines sculpture with creative faction.

The sculpture story And then I got a smack is my precarious first steps into the world of sculpture and comes full-circle to the day of stone carving as an adult.

For my first attempt, I found an abandoned and very dirty concrete block. Then I raided my dad's toolbox and methodically went through all his chisels, screwdrivers and awls until all were rendered useless.

At the stone-carving course, I selected a large piece of limestone and traced a beautiful Celtic knot (contorted skinny cats) onto the flattish surface. I then proceeded to butcher the stone with a range of chisels and a hammer, the traditional tools used in stone carving.

The end result was not quite in line with my ambitions, but that's the story of my life.

Here's my submission: And then I got a smack.

Thanks for reading.

Best wishes
