Sculpture: Modeling, Carving or Found Object.
"Modeling is additive: as it follows the logic of assembly, it accumulates substance toward achievement.
Carving, as a subtractive process, is the opposite of modeling. The effects of carving can be seen whenever meaning is created by stripping something away, or where a new form takes shape by means of removal. The subtractive (reductive) method we associate with carving can be a tool for creative destruction or a means of refinement and intensification.
The most famous description of the reductive process is Michelangelo’s image of a figure trapped inside of a block of stone. He also explained that he carved as if he were witnessing the revelation of a submerged object."
