Sculpture
What kind of sculpting? 3-dimensional figures in any medium--traditional statuary, dolls, puppets, life-casts, fossils, bas-reliefs, parade balloons, inflatable sex dolls, waxworks, Pixar characters--even the act of sculpting where the art is lost... or never was.
A major subtheme is the Pygmalion myth: statues come alive.
