Marble. 1983. 5" high plus base. Private Collection.
For years, I carried a small sculpture and simple carving and surfacing tools wherever I went in the university. In meetings, PhD exams, and other events where it was important for me to listen well and speak only when I had something to say, I would spread a towel and quietly sand while participating.
This sculpture is one of those I completed in that way. I still remember the feel of it in my butt-pack.
