Am very impressed with what Cambridge company Cardozo Kindersley Workshop are doing in London. A team of expert letercutters are cutting directly into the Portland stone wall of the National Gallery in Trafalgar Square. A job you have to get right first time!

Just found a pic I took of William Blake's grave in Bunhill Fields Burial Ground (London) back in 2018. I didn't realise at the time but this was only 1 week after it was formally laid. It was created by Lida Cardozo - more on the graves history here: memoirsofametrogirl.com/2018/0

Different views of a stone carving I made back in 2018 at Vicente Ortí's class.

Front-right view of a stone carved sculpture made out of a single block of Grey Pulpis marble showing 2 visually distinct parts: 
- A central core, rough, amorphous, grey and shaped by hand with chisel and hammer, each strike aiming to provoke spontaneous breaks and accidental organic forms
- The core is partially covered by an external part made of geometrical shapes, planes and smooth curves, all of it modeled by a hand-held electrical grinder, sanded and waxed by hand, so its surfaces appear shiny and reflective dark brown with lots of clear veins and subtle changes in color 
- Both core and encasement, while being the same rock, are visually distinct and their forms and textures appear to react to each otherFront viewLeft viewBack view
