Lizard in Progress
18"h Brucite,
This piece started as two plant leaf forms. After getting the leaves shaped, they seemed too empty.
I decided to carve a lizard on one leaf. When you look at this photo you can see that the back of the lizard is where the top of the leaf was. After shaping the lizard, there is a serendipitous darker color in front of the lizard that looks like a butterfly.
While working on the rest of the sculpture, it will give me time whether to leave the butterfly color for interpretation or carve it in 3d?
