Intricarved is a sculptural technique that contains a picture/image or patterns in two or more colours created by Australian sculptor Cal the Stoner (Prohasky) in 2011. The lines, textural features and colour changes in an intricarved sculpture are those found naturally within the stone. The lines and colour variations needed for each separate stone in the sculpture are found in larger pieces of stone, Cal then uses his hammer and chisel to get the piece out and then shape it's features to form the next interlocking piece. The process repeated until the sculpture is completed. In The Andamooka Tiger’s case over 2000 times. Though some individual stone faces are the size of a small coin they have a depth of 25mm (1 inch) to 100mm (4 inches). No stones are a thin facade like a tile, they all have depth and strength where each added stone compounds the inner strength.
