Texas Limestone
During a road trip through Texas, we discovered a stone quarry. They were happy to sell me a full block (5' x 5' x 10'). I was just not ready for that size! I explained I only wanted a few small pieces to try working with limestone. They generously gave me three small blocks. I was very excited! Yes, I enjoy playing with limestone.
My inspiration for this piece was from working with clay. I love my sculptures to be touchy-feely. You can run your fingers through the grooves and feel the subtle changes in the stone. When naming the stone, my husband said it looked like an image of a person in lament.
