He doesn’t have a nude female model inspiring him. Try a still life and carve the first grape.

Think about it. He just needs to bet more imaginative stones!

Just start noodling, see what falls out !

Looks like a fabulous work of modern art to me.

He lacks a concrete plan.

Cubism is coming back!
