Ethics of flawed stone
Good Question: to reveal or not reveal, flaws in sculpture?
What should be done after putting in hundreds of hours of painstaking
work into a sculpture, and it chips, or find an internal flaw in the stone
that was impossible to detect before one started. If I can't make the chip
work into the piece...or make it blend in... or repair it...I don't get
paid. I love sculpting...but its not my hobby, and I need to be paid.
Maybe it is a pricing issue... Maybe we should grade our own work,
catagory "A" being the best and most priciest.
It would be interesting to poll the sculptors on this list and see if
people "chip and tell" or not!
I also wonder what gallery owners feel about this issue.
