Natural Light reveals Truth

[William Moore <buddha-cat@zzzzzzzzzzzzzz>]

...I am enjoying all the discussion about light and our individual
preferences and tendencies ....True light reveals the truth of the
sculpture we create.....the subtle inconsistencies across a convexing
surface reveal our limitations as  workers in pursuit of perfection . The
faceting from a tool chattering can only be resolved by careful study in
multiple light  angles at different times of day...

As sculptors of stone, the only light we are accountable to is the
light of the sun.All other light is inferior in it's ability to illuminate
the truth of what we leave behind. Florescent ,Incandescent , Halogen,
candle or lamp all create specific effects depending on the angle one
chooses to shadow from....you must often loose contrast in one area to
create shadow in another...no matter how  fluent you become in the language
and application of artificial light , there few which can reveal the true
nature of the surface you are creating ....
