Tyndall limestone - or surface patterns and form
Don, et al
Quoted text begins.You're not alone in my book, but it is a tightrope walk. Let me explain
End of quote.
You make some good points, Don, about the "impression" of the material on
the form. The struggle and will for beauty in art is surely a balance
between material and form. (plus our own presence with our human hands, ie
our tools!)
I have not yet struck my two beautiful pieces of alabaster for this reason.
Several years I've lived with them, and how could I embellish their
intrinsic beauty? They are too seductive!
Limestones, on the other hand, I stubbed my toes on while working in the
fields as a child. Oh yes, I've always been ready to smash into them :o)
However, speaking of my will, alabaster next!!!
Thanks, Karen, Don and others, for your comments on this important topic.
Oscar
