This is a sculpture that Don began and then abandoned. I (Meg) have decided to try to make something out of it. This is just a personal piece that will be completed around my other commissioned pieces (doing mold work on LSU's Connections and casting a maquette for the UNI panther). It's been about ten months since I have carved stone and I'm anxious to get back to carving. This sculpture will be a dancer leaping. I am fascinated by the movements of dance and will try to capture some of that feeling in this piece.

After a few days, the sculpture begins to take shape. First I carve the torso roughly in and block out where the arms and legs are. I am carving wide of the form and I will refine as I go.

I'm not entirely sure what the form is going to be coming up behind the dancer that acts as a support. I toyed with the idea of mist, but discarded the idea. Right now I'm making movements in the stone to break up the vertical line it started out with.
|
From this angle you can see that the stone is vertical on the left side. I will take out various sections to add movement.
