The New Sculpture
Title: Retreat 17 x 12 x5 inches
Unique cast bronze on travertine stone
Title: Infinity Plow 12 x 15 x 7 inches
Unique cast and fabricated bronze
All drawings are from Sketchbook #25 - 2009
First conceptual drawing was created in sketchbook on August, 2009.
The drawings came from the premise that an ancient hero retreated, leaving his battle equipment behind.
First drawing: Retreat
Drawing made to establish some crude proportions, (crude because I never intended this sculpture to have any accuracy, and I suspect that it is not based on reality).
Drawings for the "strap on wings", boots and helmet
Wax patterns: wings, armor, boots and helmet
Drawing: Searching for a composition or an arrangement.
Wax pattern details
Wax patternsI'm working to finish all wax patterns in time to cast and finish, making this sculpture my last for 2009.
Very good...glad to see you working on a new one. I really like the progression of steps it takes to bring it all into being, not something you always get to see...thanks
