Through my sculpture of Awakening Slave and many of my other sculptures that are similar to the unfinished masterpiece, you can see that I took my time to create this artwork. Before beginning the masterpiece, I must visualize my final artwork from every angle within the original block of material. First, I began by choosing marble block to use for my art. I repeated each of the cuts that I made multiple times in order to have the necessary effect that I wanted. My artistic process consists of carving away unwanted material from my marble block in order to create the image that I pictured in my head at the beginning of this process. Also, I made sure to use chisel marks on the surface in which you can see the steps I took to refine cutting.
