very simple and clean carving, the large opening was a good design decision, as I mentioned in class the channels could have more of an impact on the form so as to appear more integral and less decorative.
I like how you made the curves surround the openings, which creates a framed perspective. There are aspects of your piece that depict remnants of the original clay block. Therefore, I think if you were to go back and improve this piece, I would try to curve the squared edges that you currently have (1st image, 1st column) and carve more channels into the base (2nd image, 2nd column).
I’m a fan of your geometric approach to the sculpture, especially in your fourth image since it’s very balanced in elements, but asymmetrical in how its framed in the photo–which makes me want to look at it even more. One way to improve this sculpture would be to build onto the curvy line carving as it feels like it stops too abruptly. Extending it to the crater you made at the sculpture’s top to maybe make a new hole and/or bisecting it so the line splits in two and can curve into other planes in a less predictable way might be options to make its influence on your sculpture be more apparent.

I really like the gaps in between. It gives a sense of space and the curved indents give the image an overall flow and direction.
