Finished Plaster Pea Pod Sculpture

The Finished Pea Pod

So I have finished the pea pod...this piece holds such a piece of my heart & soul...  I had intended on writing up a full artist statement for the piece, but in truth; it just brings up so many emotions I don't think I really can and manage to do it justice.

If you're curious, you can read my past blogs on this piece...perhaps a time will come when I'll be able to actually put it all down in words, but that time isn't now.

What I will say is this...Marylou, Pam, Danny & Kevin...this one is for you...I love you

On a side note...the feet were added in a bit of a hurry....I plan to create two much more appropriate feet for this piece.  It has been suggested I submit this piece to the undergrad art show...I hope to follow through with that and hopefully you'll be seeing this piece displayed appropriately in a gallery or perhaps into a collection very soon!

Process photos of a new clay sculpture

I'm working on a new clay sculpture...thought I'd post some pics of it in the process stages.

The further I get...the more you'll get to see:)

Clay model idea's for upcoming plaster sculpture

My next sculpting project is to create a sculpture from plaster.  To begin...I made these three small clay sculptures as starting points for the future large plaster sculpture.  I haven't yet decided which one I'll do, but I'm leaning towards either the human figure or the 'baggage'.  It's all in its infant stages right now, but I'm hoping to do both a larger ceramics project as well as the plaster sculpture possibly from just one of these.
