How to Look
- Walk 180° around each piece; mark two best vantage points.
- Compare polished vs tool‑marked surfaces for texture intent.
- Watch how skylight edges carve silhouettes at midday vs late.
Materials & Meaning
| Material | Reads As | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Marble | Cool, skin‑like | Side light reveals tool marks |
| Bronze | Warm, reflective | Move slightly to animate highlights |
Image Highlights
Bottom Line
Sculpture is time‑based: movement of your body and of the light completes the work.
