I want to show all the facets of a sculptor at work, from choosing stone to fit a design, to the final polishing and finishing needed before it is placed on a base and ready to meet the public.


In between those steps there can be heartbreak (of a stone breaking unexpectedly) or triumph, when it all goes according to plan.



This piece, Mi Amore, was carved in Pietrasanta, Italy, of Carrara white marble.
