Original Art Sculpture - Carving the Marble Stargazer:      The most frequent question I hear is "How long did it take you to do that?" I rarely know. I had created a small figure of this composition of a woman looking up to the sky in early 2003, intending to create a couple sculpture. Next thing I knew summer was upon me and I had no idea for what I wanted to carve at the MARBLE/marble Symposium in Colorado.  So, I thought, why not carve my little figure? I received my marble block at the symposium on 15 July 2003.          Stargazer is the most complicated figure I had attempted to carve up to that point. The most difficult thing to do in stone is to have two things touch, without overlap or excess space between them. The image you see below is Day One of my work. I worked on this marble off and on until I finished it on 3 November 2005. There is even film footage of me carving this work in my home studio in Texas in a short film about Bastrop, Texas, that aired on PBS television. 2003 July 16, Marble, Colorado 2003-11-06 in Texas copyright 2004 Nov 29 Kelly Borsheim      Think. Draw. Carve. Draw. Think. Remove material. Look. Think. Draw. Sculpt. This marble is from the Colorado Yule Quarry. This particular piece of marble has gold veins running through it. Many a late night I have seen her out of my bedroom window in the moonlight. She's the brightest. Marble and moonlight. How sweet is that? This woman is constantly watching the sky. She is enchanted by the mystery of it all. She watches for a shooting star and makes her wish. I hope Stargazer will enchant you as much.       Contact The Artist About This Artwork
