my first sculpture

the making of my first sculpture was difficult. We were directed to make movement, a clay marquette (the first images). Then a block of mahogany and carving tools that I had never used before. End of hours of labour and now directed to chop it up and make a sculpture that exaggerates original concept. I took to my sculpture with a hammer and chisel and split it in to many pieces lots of fun, then all of a sudden many many pieces and no idea how to put it back together. It is finished, it was hard work, several injuries later there is something on our bookshelf and some abstract photos and I am quietly pleased.
