The Process

The pieces in this series are made of individual blocks stacked and fastened together with screws, an additive process. The exterior was then carved, a subtractive process, into a life-size bust, unscrewed, taken apart, the interiors cut out, holes drilled, painted, sanded and sewn back together.

The Crow sculpture blocked out.

Sculpture progressing with Clay Maquette.
