The Process
These photos illustrate the 7-month process of creating a sculpture, from the idea to the finished bronze.
The process starts with an armature supported by a back iron. For the limbs of the armature I use aluminium which is soft enough to bend easily but rigid enough to hold its shape when the clay is on.
I have roughly applied large lumps of clay to the armature.
I have covered the armature and started to model some very rough anatomy.
