A solo show by Joan Sharma RBSA
About
Joan Sharma carves in stone. She begins with an idea and develops this directly with the stone. For larger pieces she often uses power tools to shape the bulk of the piece but enjoys the process of using hand tools to find the lines, smooth curves and rough surfaces that feel “right” for the sculpture.
She works mainly in limestone and black serpentine but all the pieces in this exhibition are of alabaster. She uses four different types of alabaster here sometimes incorporating blue resin.
