Perception

The sculpture is getting closer. It’s been a little frustrating, but I think it’s going to be pretty cool once it’s finished. It sort of glows this strange blue in natural light, less like a reflection and more like it’s coming from within. Once the figure itself is finished, the base will be added to and sculpted so that it looks like he is literally standing on his head, like in this early model.

Water and Light

I took these pictures because there’s something strange about the way that light interacts with water. Whether that water is in a thin layer on the ground, falling from the sky, suspended as gas in the air, or crashing onto a beach, it has a sort of visual personality that is categorizable, but basically endlessly diverse. Like I have discussed before, it’s all about the light.
New Sculpture Progress, the Importance of the Sun
Apr 07, 2009 — 1 comment
Here is the current progress of the sculpture I’ve been working on lately. It’s based off of the study I did a while back, Dive. It’s about 42” tall, including the base (which right now is just exposed wood and foam, but will eventually be finished off and look less ugly). This is a new method and new material (gypsum) for me, so progress has been slower than I had hoped or anticipated. It still needs a lot of work, but I think it will be pretty cool once it’s finished.
Also, yes, that is The Kramer in the background (guarding it for a friend), along with The Tribe, the Chiefs defense from 1991. My garage is awesome.
I don’t know how clearly you can tell what is going on in the picture above. If you look closely, you get a pretty impressive demonstration of the sun’s importance to the survival of grass. Who knew plants needed sun and water?
