An idea lies within the block of plaster. Getting the idea out into the open ...... that's the labour of inspiration that includes digging, carving, scraping, scratching, all combined into an effort that is artistically called "sculpting". Mostly though, sculpting is just a lot of hard work. Hard work towards an idea that in the mind's eye is something beautiful and worthy of the hard work.
Hard work at scratching along toward a goal. Digging a little deeper to find and shape that idea. Scraping around the edges to get rid of the extraneous stuff that always seems to be in the way.
Sculpting is like most things in life. A lot of hard work and a lot of long hours to get rid of everything that doesn't fit the idea or goal you have in mind. A lot of inspiration and energy spent to create something of lasting value. Something beautiful. Something to be treasured.
So keep digging, carving, scratching, and scraping on your masterpiece .... your life ...... so that one day it too will be called a sculpture ..... a work of art!
