SCULPTURE

MY MAIN FOCUS IN SCULPTURE HAS BEEN CLAY AND BRONZE. I WORKED EXCLUSIVELY IN CLAY FOR MUCH OF MY CAREER WITH AN OCCASSIONAL PAPER MACHE SCULPTURE. WHEN I RETIRED FROM TEACHING IN 2004 I LEARNED TO CAST MY SCULPTURES IN BRONZE AND IN RESINS. IN OCTOBER 2017 I FLEW TO TUCSON ARIZONA TO TAKE A WORKSHOP WITH MARY SUSAN CATE AKA MERRY MARY. MARY USES PAPER CLAY AND AND ARMATURE SYSTEM SHE DESIGNED TO MAKE LARGE HOLLOW SCULPTURES. THE PHOTO ABOVE IN MY SCULPTURE OF A KID GOAT WITH A ROOSTER ON HIS BACK IN THE GREENWARE STAGE.
