Vance Theoret, "I Am All Ears,"
Brazilian soapstone, 10" x 6"
Vance Theoret, a self-taught carver has been carving for over 32 years. Inspired by the work of the Inuit, Henry Moore and Rodin, he was drawn to the deceptive simplicity of using the form to suggest detail.
“ I like to let the stone tell me what it wants to be…when I do this the end product is so much more alive than if I had forced my design upon it! Doing this also allows the stone to work with you and puts colours and patterns in places that you couldn’t plan any better.”…Vance Theoret.
