I didn't have anything in mind for stone so as Paul, the tutor has suggested in the past I just spent a while looking at it from all angles for inspiration.
I purposely picked a piece that was oddly shaped to increase my chances of being inspired.
Strangely the side that inspired me most was the flat, cut sides.
I made a couple of maquettes from clay to try out an idea I had. It is very roughly based on Cycladic sculpture which I really like
The second maquette is designed to suit the stone shape better but I like the look of it more anyway.
I didn't think it was worth keeping either of those maquettes for firing.
