Jennifer Tetlow
Stone Sculpture

The word 'Sculpture' is derived from the Latin sculpere - meaning 'to cut', or 'to carve out'.

In working stone, Jennifer Tetlow favours this very literal meaning of the word sculpture, from the conception of a piece to the chiselling down from a solid block until the desired shape is achieved.

Preparing to lift block of stone into the workshop

Her choice of stone as a material to work with is in part due to its durability, and she strives in her sculpting to get some quality that is worthy of this permanence.

Carving chisels

Jennifer Tetlow uses basic hand tools for carving, first roughing out the shape, then refining and cutting the detail, and lastly smoothing with fine chisels and abrasives.
