During a road trip through Texas, we discovered a stone quarry. They were happy to sell me a full block (5' x 5' x 10'. I was just not ready for that size! I explained I only wanted a few small pieces to try working with limestone. They generously gave me three small blocks. I was very excited! Yes, I enjoy playing with limestone.
My inspiration for this piece was from working with clay. I love my sculptures to be delightful, especially through physical contact, and a touchy-feely experience. You can run your fingers through the grooves and feel the subtle changes in the stone. When naming the stone, my husband said it looked like an image of a person in lament.
