Spanish Alabaster
30cm x 15cm x 8cm
About.
This work set out to explore motion, and the weightless dance of falling leaves.
The Process.
The delicacy of the subject is reflected in the delicate approach required to carve. Pushing the stone to its absolute limit the stone becomes almost glass like with its translucency.
The Material.
Carved in Golden Spanish alabaster, the material is one of the few stone types that will permit the fragility expressed. Alabaster is a very soft stone, allowing detail to be refined through scraping and filing, as opposed to the traditional hammer and chisel. Though soft the stone is also very dense and incredibly fine, and has been prized by sculptors for centuries for it ethereal qualities.
