It is a partial face being done in the Italian Baroque style. The stone itself is a very small 10kg light colored Italian Carrara Statuario block with beautiful grey veining. This particular stone was favored by some of the great artists of all time, like Michelangelo and Bernini, and I have to admit, Carrara Statuario it really is a treat to carve.

Below, you will find some shots of the piece in progress. As stone carving is a subtractive process, the features start a little larger and more comical during the blocking out process and are subsequently taken down to a much more natural size before finishing.

I made this decision with a lot of thought and a lot of input from Jennifer. I would like to go into Art History and Conservation and either teach at the university level or work in a museum or conservatory. I have not decided the path I am going to take to get there however. I have the option to focus, during my undergrad studies, on Art History or a BFA in Studio Arts. I will also need two minors, Chemistry and German, for acceptance into one of the PhD programs I have my eye on. I have a good nine or ten years of school ahead of me, but I really enjoying what I am doing.

In addition to school, I will be sculpting full time. I have set up an outdoor studio in our townhome’s back yard, it is definitely not rain-proof, so work stops during inclimate weather. I am hoping to find a more permanent space within my budget that fills my needs before winter (so, if you know of any small warehouses, please let me know.)

I am planning a show in December 2010 at the Covey Center for the Arts here in Provo and am hoping to have 6 or so pieces to display. And if you want to purchase a piece before then, please keep in mind that I may request its presence at the show.
