Quoted By:
There was this artist, his name was Norman Lindsay. When he was still alive and making art he was kind of persecuted for being a 'pornographer' because of his love of making art based on his favourite thing, naked women.
He was a master of the nude woman. He would paint them and sculpt them. As he got on in his life he went and bought up a nice place in the mountains and would paint and sculpt. One of his hobbies became going to the forest on his land, getting a nice piece of stone and just staying there all day carving out a beautiful nude woman.
He had some of his best and favourite statues placed all around his home, some were fountains, or ornaments on his gateway etc. But to this day if you visit his home, now the Norman Lindsay museum, you can go into his yard look out in to the forest there and there's a bunch of naked women there carved out of stone, some half finished. Some with horns or tails like mythological creatures. It's really a thing to see.
Inspired by this I have often fantasized about going out somewhere secluded inna woods and finding a nice spot to gradually move some supplies to. Namely bags of cement, and a few sheets of plywood.
The idea is to build a tall box with the plywood and then mix up some concrete using the cement and the natural soil, clay, stone and water in the area, pour the concrete mix into the plywood mold to create a rectangular prism pillar standing on end and then to chisel out the figure of a nude woman.
Then remove all of my supplies and every other trace of me being there leaving only the beautiful naked stone woman.
