dear folks
having a tiny window (without graphics) on the virtual highway
has its moments of irony. :o)
so finally (thanks Clive) I have some inkling of the "content" of
this technically "perfect" (sic) carving.
American Woman, indeed!
"tart on a steinway" hahaha!
brief point: one central insight of Gestalt psychology is that it is
useful IN MAKING MEANING to closely consider the OBVIOUS.
(much of meaningmaking is intellectual & mental distractions from
what can be painfully obvious)
my obvious point here:
how is it that stone carvers, we are, can cleave so completely
between content and process?
my experience (limited as it is) is that carving brings the content
(the form) in union with the process (carving)
(or a la Brancusi: the form emerges through the process)
and that = meaning
my 2 cents
Oscar
