New Sculptures Completed: 'Standing Wave' and 'Swashing'.

I have just completed two new stone sculptures. One I call 'Standing Wave', which emerged from an elongated Mogollon Basalt boulder requiring a gentle touch to work the form because the stone resists working with percussion tools so I had to use direct grinding techniques lest the piece fracture uncontrollably.  'Standing Wave', emerged requiring a gentle sculpting touch to work the form, finished to a fine surface, sculpted to suggest a rising wave.  Completing the creative solution, I chose a mounting on a triangular stand of weathered steel.

The second piece I call ‘Swashing'.  It emerged from a challenging piece of Picasso Marble to form a figurative splash against the shore as a metaphor of evolving shape derives from the confusion of lines and transitions in the stone. Hidden fractures in the stone manifested throughout my direct sculpting requiring creative conceptual adjustments to achieve a satisfying solution.  The finished form is presented using stainless steel in basalt on hardwood.
