Artist's Comments

This sculpture was a breakthrough piece for me. It was the first sculpture I created with just a hammer, chisels files and sandpaper. The previous 5 years I relied strictly on a Dremel, a motorized rotary tool to carve stone, making small pendants, trinkets.
I had no idea what to create, I was frustrated, my marriage ended and I just wanted to pound on stone, so I just started carving, feeling my way with my hands as I went along, leading to a new personal creative style.

To me, it is people embracing and caressing each other.

What really stands out to me about Sensual Odyssey by ~sculptin is the the way the folds and curves of the piece not only twist and flow around each other as though full of movement and flexibility but also how parts of it appear almost human in their shape. (Featured by ^Thebuild)

This is extremely beautiful. Like someone just melted and is folding themselves over and over searching for a suitable form. I can only imagine what it's presence is like in person.

As with all your pieces, the photographs make me long to touch it! I didn't really appreciate that appeasing the tactile side could be such a treat for the eyes as well as for the hand. Beautiful lines and concavities, and the colours of the stone are so rich. Wonderful to see where it all sprang from :) Aah, your work makes me long for big bits of stone and the time to find what I will in them - you're truly an inspiration!
Hmm.
Geh. Methinks I wax too lyrical. I blame the cheesey dinner.

The view on the right looks like a person telling a secret. I love it!

And what an excellent pathway it has been. A wonderful piece, very fluid-looking, as if it were poured out rather than carved.

It looks to me like a figure hugging itself, finding comfort in touch, even if it is from no one else. The lines of this are very turbulent, but the larger masses are very stable. It's an interesting duality here, a figure surrounded by swilring wildness, but calm in itself.

I just want to wrap myself around it. Awesome.

I agree with BlueIllusion's interpretation and Reyne's sentiment here...You always somehow manage to make cold, hard stone look warm, soft and inviting. Very aptly named as well--simply divine....
