Curves and Line

The long block of rag is now in position to be drawn on and the removal of stone can begin.
At the very start when creating a large stone sculpture, the awkward weight and volume of a quarry block always gets me excited! I know the objective of removing and emptying the stone of all the parts I don't want will soon transform it from being something rigid and solid into something, lighter softer and malleable looking, it just takes time, patience and a lot of dust.
