Millicent resulted from teacher John Fisher's method of improvised carving that avoids preconceptions about the subject of the work. Starting with a featureless rectangular block of limestone, random removal of material provides personality to the block that inspires a subject, in this case an African elephant. Fortunately, photos of elephants needed to guide the work were available from personal trips to the Kruger National Park in South Africa. John Fisher carved the eyes. (2016)
