Brazilian Soapstone
7" tall
I was comissioned to create a piece for a public gallery fundraiser auction. They paid for the stone and I created this lovely piece. Visit here ----> [link] to view the work in progress.
It's been a while since I've visited your gallery.
Spectacular piece. The abstraction in the upper torso of the figure came out really well. For a moment I think it's an arm, falling across the waist below one breast, then it looks like the hair coming around the figure's face and ending as the figure's left arm, with the right arm propping up the head below.
It is made of soapstone. the technical term is steatite or talc. On the MOHS scale of stone hardnesses it is a 1-1.5. Very soft, you could carve it with a butterknife, your fingernail. I use rasps, sandpaper, sharp chisels.
This is great. I hope you can post some pictures of it from a few different angles. Great form and design, a wonderful piece!
