Sculpting Florence

Florence + the Machine's music, to me, has come to symbolize the pursuit of your dreams, strength of character, and hard work paying off. I'm sculpting Florence Welch in addition to being a full time art student and part time art instructor. I traveled 2 hours to San Francisco to sculpt for 8-10 hours in one day, costing me a little over $60 a week in travel expenses for an entire semester. The goal is to have the sculpture cast in bronze by April 25, 2015, my birthday.

Never Let Me Go

It's been a while hasn't it?

I've made the decision to makeover half of my bedroom into studio space, and have a lovely 6 foot table to mess up as much as need be while working on Florence:

I'll be really happy when she can stand again...

I've told my sculpture teacher that the wax will be completely reassembled and ready to go to the bronze foundry by the end of the month, so I better keep my word!
