Test Sample!

Before starting the water effect carving on the front of the sculpture I wanted to make a sample piece to determine my pattern. When I've been studying the images and sketches I've produced of the river's flow, it always appears that there is so much movement and shadow on what is a very shallow surface. Looking so closely at the undulating waves starts to blur my vision and it plays with my decision making process with where to start! My intention is to focus on the idea that where one ripple breaks another one is formed, this way I can create a natural rhythmical pattern up the stone.
