Scott Cahaly is a Stone Sculptor and Painter living and working in the Boston Area. He never made any art before the age twenty-one while a student at the University of Vermont during the mid-nineties. While a lot of artists add to get results, Scott's is a natural reductive mind. The idea that the image is already there and that the Artists job is to reveal it is his motto! Scott can be found most days carving away at marble/alabaster or teaching others how to..

"Bust of Life"
This sculpture that I carved about thirteen years ago is about to leave the studio. It is a piece of Vermont Marble I got my hands on while carving stone at the Vermont Marble exhibit in the late 90's. It is about 23 inches high and 8 inches wide. I named it "Bust of Life" because ancient figural representations carved from the waist up were referred to as "busts" back in the Greco/Roman/Renaissance days. I added the "Life" part cause I see it as a very optimistic face and torso. Somebody was very interested at open studios 11 last spring and is about to come and take it home. It is always good when a piece of heavy rock's time has come to fly Z nest........... :)
