I'm heavily influenced by psychology. Perhaps I'm a bit sadistic, but I love making things that are incredibly stressful on the eyes to look at.

Bronze Sculpture Commission!

Sat Sep 5, 2009, 11:24 PM
Did i mention i am working on a bronze sculpture commission? Yes I'm nervous, never done a large bronze monument before, but I know I have the skill to do it! D<! I'm working on the first step- collecting information on material costs, and figuring out how to actually pull the process off:

1) Construct armature and clay sculpture
2) Cast the clay sculpture
3) From the mold, make a wax replica (no undercuts! tricky!)
4) Ship the wax replica to a bronze foundry where they cast the sculpture in bronze
5) Smooth out the weld marks (it will be cast in multiple pieces) and apply a patina (its going to rust anyway, so make it rust all PRETTY!)

Your sculptures are absolutely fantastic!

What I find particularly interesting is your creativity with thinking of the "gender" of the chemicals in your glazes when making each one of them, incredibly fascinating. It opens up a whole new world of meaning that could be possible in art...

Haha not a problem =)
Awwh, is it the price of the materials or time constraint stopping you from producing?

I don't have a studio to work in, that's the problem :(. I need a printing press and a well ventilated room with some industrial grade acids. Fortunately its only a matter of getting into a junior college art class to access these things. Hopefully soon i'll be back in the mix.

oh yea, and for the statues i need to find a way to get ahold of an affordable way to fire my clay pieces, probably community college again.
