Abstract Plaster Carving of the Word Arbitrate

Abstract Plaster Carving of the Word Arbitrate




















This is the carving about half way through. It started as a large, 3 sided block and then I used a chisel to rough carve out the image from the damp plaster. Pottery tools and sandpaper were used to finish the piece.

Two of the faces are speaking since when both are talking; they aren’t listening to each other. The third face doesn’t have a mouth, it can only listen and watch.

There is a 4th face that is hidden unless you are looking down at the sculpture. I didn't think anyone but me would spot the 4th face that unites them all but it was caught immediately. I try to put something odd in projects that pleases me but is easily missed.
