Intermission



Since I was gone camping last weekend I planned to work at the beach again on Monday, but that morning I was awakened by thunder and decided against it. Considering the next sculpture will be one of my most structurally challenging pieces I'm glad I'm taking a week to prepare for it. And in the meantime I've been working on this little sculpture, trying to figure out how plaster works so I can get a wax replica of it and eventually cast it in glass. It's such a time consuming process!


And here is what is left of Ramesses after a week on the beach. Although I don't know to what extent this was natural destruction, because were once he was perched on a mound of sand, there is now a large ditch obviously created by human hands. Very curious.
