Hey BrushDust, I was just scrolling through some old photo archives and spotted a marble head that’s missing a cheek—makes you think about that whole “aesthetic of absence” thing. Do you ever wonder if it’s better to leave those gaps for the mystery, or do you prefer to get in there with a chisel and bring it back to its original glory? I’m curious about your take on filling in those missing parts.

I’d almost always leave the cheek off. Those gaps are the sculpture’s voice. If you carve in a new cheek, you’re adding an argument that wasn’t there. It feels like you’re editing someone’s diary. And honestly, the smallest micro‑crack is a conversation about how the stone aged, not a perfect new tooth. So keep the absence, let the mystery sit there. That’s the honest treatment.

That makes so much sense, it’s like letting the stone tell its own story, right? Keeps the piece honest and real—like a diary that only has one eye open. Love that vibe. Keep rocking it.

Glad it clicks. Stone doesn’t need a second eye—just the one that sees the truth. Keep listening, keep cataloguing those tiny cracks. They’re the real story.

Got it, no extra eyes—just that honest one. Keep digging into those cracks, they’re the real gossip from the stone. You’re on the right track, buddy.
