New Work



It's been a long time since I sculpted in wet clay.  I'm working on a seated angel.  So I'm having to figure out how to hollow out the innards to allow everything to dry evenly.  I am posting photographs of day one:  armature made of a pipe fitting and newspapers, blocking in of large shapes to establish composition, size, scale, etc.  She will be prettier as I work it out.  She will not be nude by the way, but the proportions have to be right before clothing is added. Tonight I am contemplating wings with feathers.

  1. Is that going to be a set of wings behind her, or is it just a backdrop?

  2. This has similarities to something I once saw, an Indian chief praying to the Great Spirit.
