The face of the stone


Any and every stone has a good 'face' that you want to show on the wall when you're building. Sometimes it takes a few flips and turns of the stone or a trim with a hammer to get it to show. But all stones have a good face. There are days on the wall when you look at your stone pile and your eye is drawn directly to the stone you need next. It's like it jumps out at you. I think the sculptor Emmanuel Augier wasn't having difficulties seeing the 'face' in the stones for this piece. This sculpture sits at the entrance to a public park in Levens, France. Something I'll have to go see next time I travel to France.
