work in progress


This piece was started a couple of years ago based on some drawings I made of a model called Emma. It was made in clay on a simple wire armature, I liked the structure of the pose and it worked reasonably well from most angles. I wasn't very happy with the surface finish so I had a resin cast made by a nice chap I know called John Harvey at Wickmere near Holt in north Norfolk. This is basically car body filler and is easy to work to a smooth, even finish which I find more satisfactory.

I have prevaricated over the months and haven't yet committed this piece to casting, hey ho, maybe I'll take the plunge this year, we'll see...........
