Greek 3 foot mask installed

Greek mask commission finished and installed

This piece was commissioned by a Grass Valley couple.  I spent a few months on it and am happy to show it completed and installed.  It is 3 ft tall by 3 ft wide and weighs approximately 50 lbs.   This piece is available as a limited edition of 120.

New workshop - sculpting with cement

I have two workshops scheduled for July and August.  I will teach you how to sculpt with a cement material made from recycled newspaper,  recycled paint,  cement  and clay soil.  The results are a clay like cement that is versatile and suitable for outdoor sculpture. This is not the material I use for my Buddha fragment sculpture,  but is a fun and workable option for home projects.

Send me an email if you want more information.

Casey Bridges, new work

As the upcoming show season approaches,  Casey and I are both immersed in the work of Classical Greek sculpture.  Here you can see Casey's next addition to Sacred Stone,  Hermes' foot...

The next step is to add the sandal.

Hermes? What should we call this Greek God?

Hermes?  What should we call this Greek God?  As the commission to create a 3 foot mask fragment of a Classical Greek God progresses,  I wonder who it is that is showing up under my hands?  Here he is so far,  a work in progress....

The negative space is almost as important as the positive space of any sculpture.  So,  as I work on the big piece, I practice breaking various pieces in order to find the just right shape for the fragment. In this photo you can see the small "maquette" size  mask,  broken in to various shapes.

Progress!
