Sculptor: Anna Rubincam
Stone carver Anna Rubincam begins her process by measuring and sketching the features of a live model. From there, she creates a clay version before moving on to carefully chisel the piece out of stone. The film crew spent three weeks documenting this fascinating process alongside Rubincam.
