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.
Despite the earlier set back, I like the over all gesture of this attempt better. However, I used myself for a model at this stage, so the extra pounds are a reflection of me, not Florence.
