day three



I want to show you all the stages... ikky days and all. It looks pretty dreadful at the moment. The angle of the heads is crucial and this has to look sinky and relaxed. I have to look at the height of the heads, angle and how they relate to each other.. once I get this right then it just a matter of refinment. As soon as the heads look right I will know straight away.

wax works

Bought this today in town... boy oh boy can't wait to try it~

As I was going into town this morning I was totally absorbed in the beauty of our clear, sharp, cornflower blue BrisbaneinMay sky... we are so lucky. I couldn't help but compare it to the view as we were flying out of Rome a few years ago...

Oh and I like how we say thank you to the bus driver

Studio this week



Finally I have finished the new mould for Question... I sold the last piece from the old mould last week here .. If this mould is not going to work then thats the end of Question all together... we will be doing the first cast on the weekend. (i need the boy)'




This is the new model for another small cold cast piece I intend to get done in the next few weeks.. I want to document the whole process to show people exactly whats involved.




The hard part is to get the figures to have that quality of flesh affected by gravity... they have to sink or they just look like dolls. I try to think about what happens to flesh when its pressed up against something else.

I had a call this morning from my wonderful Dr who is arranging a PAH clinic for my sick sister... once she is in that clinic I will know she is getting the care she needs.

party


I think it would be better to get yourself back into the studio....



I am looking forward to a week with nothing but studio time after spoiling myself with gallery time for the last few days and I certainly aim to start a new welded piece... all this lovely cool weather is going to waste.

Im back in the studio after 2 weeks in Sydney moving my sister to Brisbane and visiting my angel


The removalist is delivering on Friday and so we should be all sorted by the end of the weekend.. she tolerated the trip quite well and was very happy to be on the road with my brothers!


In the studio Im finishing the mould which has been gathering dust for a month! tried to open this morning and it's stuck.... I think I need the boy...


Also doing more casting as I have been selling quite a lot lately.... always welcome.
