I'm Moving Into 3D

That meaning, I've gotten back into doing sculptures! It's been a long fifteen some years since my college days I did any real 3D work. Primarily I've stuck to the 2D lifestyle of canvas and paints, or the occasional digital works. And I'll tell you, it feels good working in this newfound medium.

Inspired by my co-collaborator Joe's wedding decor we built, I've spun my own series of wall mounted heads.

As the processes evolves and involves using my hands directly with the material it's a nice change of pace from the constraints of the paint brush. Also, I forgot the feeling of warm wet plaster strips that bring back fond memories of the 'Art Barn' I spent "all nighters" t'il the sunrise finishing projects last minute before major critiques. It's nice living without rigid pressure of deadlines.

Here's a couple recent in the works pieces built from wire frames, then two layers of plaster strips, and 2-3 coats drywall mud that I sand and seal before they will eventually end in color.

First the wiring

Then the plastering

Still have a long way to go on this one.

Thanks for the visit.
