LIMESTONE

Texas Limestone 

During a road trip through Texas, we discovered a stone quarry. They were happy to sell me a full block (5' x 5' x 10'. I was just not ready for that size! I explained I only wanted a few small pieces to try working with limestone. They generously gave me three small blocks. I was very excited! Yes, I enjoy playing with limestone.

My inspiration for this piece was from working with clay.  I love my sculptures to be delightful, especially through physical contact, and a touchy-feely experience.  You can run your fingers through the grooves and feel the subtle changes in the stone. When naming the stone, my husband said it looked like an image of a person in lament.

This rock was originally covered in moss. I wanted to keep the moss in the sculpture but did not get around to carving it for years. When I was ready to work on it, the moss was not. The moss finally dried up. Without a plan, I began clearing off the rough spots and the dead moss. The colors that came through are awesome, reminding me of the clear waters of the sea. I left the inside unpolished to show the natural stone.
