Back to the Drawing Board!

As the morning has started with grey wet skies, I thought now would be the ideal time to continue with working on drawings for a private commission. I have been attempting to work with the Möbius strip form and I am exploring how the sculpture could be tightened and widened to suggest 'pauses' and 'rushes' in the overall movement and shape of the stone. After 16 variations on paper I may have to move into using clay to create a few small models to understand the twist in the loop and where tension points will occur. It's actually quite a contrast to sit quietly, listening to the radio and just draw than to be surrounded by dust and noise from stone cutting.
