the Lost Valley diary...
third day of construction, ‘depth’...
In the morning I added a little charcoal
to the completed section, just to see how
the overall finish might look..
A day of keeping working around the
sculpture, filling in gaps, creating the
depth in the body. Each piece making the
form a sum of its multiple parts...
This filling in process provided the
support for the upper parts of the cone,
allowing the sculpture to grow taller.
In growing towards the sky,
each branch I chose and added to the
top of the cone, seemed to have a curve.
And like a jigsaw puzzle, each branch had
a natural place where it wished to be
added.
By going with the flow and trusting
to an intuitive process, the individual
characters of the branches naturally
grew the sculptures overall shape and
a striking, organic curve...
