But I also raised many questions about the "method" and technique of ancients carvers. Some things are certain: everyone has adapted his sculptures with means available to their time... Historically we know that the océanic carving, but also the tattoos, are more quickly progress with the arrival of iron tools led by explorers... When they did not burn and kill everybody... It is a vast and complex subject, but I think what do with the means of his time is not heresy. Then free to everyone to use a computer or a knife of obsidian,it is just to do with the heart and to enjoy! That said, I follow the progression of this piece with great interest... J.
