This is an abstract sculpture I made for my 3-D Process class. It is carved from a plaster block, molded by pouring the plaster into an orange juice carton.  I used a hammer and chisel as well as a lot of different sized rasps and files. The last photo in this post shows a five-part composition assignment for my 2-D Process course last semester. I morphed drawings of a Sophocles bust that I got in Greece when I was nine. I originally was going to combine a few of the images into a 3-D form, but once I started carving I strayed quite dramatically, but I think comparing the two works is interesting and brings out a figural aspect to the otherwise abstract form of the sculpture.
