Patience, perseverance, and flexibility are all part of this creative process. So is discipline. Stone sculpting is both mentally and physically demanding. It requires the ability to see things in three-dimensional, which comes naturally to me. This is what I thrive on. I use three types of stone: alabaster, limestone, and soapstone. Fortunately, when I work, I am not too hard on myself or critical of what I am doing. For me, it is a journey and adventure. I'm patient with myself and with the stone. I also seem to know when I need a break, at which time I draw or sculpt in paper.
A connection to the theme is the notion of how a threshold can be an entrance, or departure, from one place to another. This divide can be physical, spiritual or theoretical. The Divide represents these themes.
