Wax

I bought a pound of wax the other day. It might be my favorite medium, although porcelain is up there. If anyone wants to buy me the 10 pound block from Plaza Art, I would not refuse (its $90).

I think that it is serendipitous that wax is perhaps my favorite medium to work with, and one of my goals as a sculptor is to someday have a piece cast in bronze.

Gorilla Glue Casting

I made this for an instruction manual for a Gorilla Glue competition on this website called instructables.com. If your not busy on October 10-11, go to the site, make a profile, and vote.

Some words

Right now I am working on a few projects, but I feel like posting some words instead of pictures. I'm doing a glue-casting of Day 60 that is coming along nicely. I'm thinking about the logistics of large backyard wire sculpture. I'm also thinking about/experimenting with my own interpretation of the goddess Athena.

I've always tried to keep the posts on this blog short- I know that no one wants to sift through paragraphs of text. I took a whole class on writing for the web at CNU, actually. However, I am planning on posting a few paragraphs on the use of mythic allusions in sculpture. Hopefully it will be at least marginally interesting.

Thanks for checking the blog- it really helps to know that people are seeing what I make. And thank you, internet, for letting me share my work with people who live anywhere from a few hours away, to halfway across the world. Pretty neat.

Sprinter

Another track and field sculpture. You can see a smaller discus thrower in the background- he doesn't get his own post.

Sculptortoday

My sculpture for the day. Trying out my new Plastilina. Its pretty awesome.

Soapstone progress

The soapstone project has been very difficult, but it is getting closer to completion. Three of the five petals have broken and been glued back. I don't think that soapstone was really meant to be made into things this fragile. The water is what needs the most work still.
