Progressing
I have decided to stay in the habit of constantly updating this site with the progress I am making in the studio. Not only for friends and family to see, but for my own benefit. Making some of these sculptures can be a real blur from beginning to end and seem a little chaotic. So, documenting everything will give me a sense of order and some perspective of my studio practice.
In these photos I have started sanding the two blobbed forms and have fixed them into the wall. I have finished sculpting the figure to a stage where I am happy with. The figure has changed quite a bit from the first time I took a photo of it. I seemed to of kept taking off more and more clay each time I sat down to clean it up. My goal was to create something a little more dynamic when the light hit it by accentuating the facial structure. It is almost baby faced in the previous posts. In the last photos I have made a wall around the sculpture so I can start mould making. The pink stuff you see is silicone.
People are probably looking at this and thinking, “what the hell is going on here?” I will try to explain the work more in the next posts. I’m doing my MFA, I have to talk about my work sometime!
