Eventually, I decided to let the third rower
becoming an inattentive careless rower who loses his
concentration when he turns around and starts talking
with rowers number four. In order to reinforce what
happens, I let the careless rowers oar row at their own
pace, out of step. The viking ship, dragon's head and
the rowers were difficult to chop, small and sharp
details in coarse-grained granite with ice age polished
surface where each mistake would be clearly visible.
This part of the work was a nervous story that took a
long time to carve.
Film - all the details are carved but unpainted>
the heart
I can not do a modern heart in the Norse ornamentation
but I could sneak it in to a shape of a heart in the
ornamentation. I let the dragons neck tassels forming
the shape of a heart as if it were a coincidence.
the dragons
They are a male and a female. I have given them slightly
different expression in the form of masculine male to
the left and feminine female to the right.
Film - chops
dragon's nose> |
