SCULPTURS OF DIVANDARI

Now I am a direct carver. The shape of the boulder suggests an idea. I draw on the stone and attack it with a pneumatic tooth chisel. Usually I start with the figure’s face, letting it control the proportions for the rest of the piece. If there is an interesting form to the left I may let the hair drift in that direction or put a bird there! My sculptures appear to be "born" out of the material. I feel sometimes I am more midwife than creator.
