Rebirth, work in progress

Saturday, March 28, 2009

Last night I started a new leather sculpture. I wanted it to have an
organic, vaginal shape for a face to emerge from. I'm still learning
what all I can do with leather so I tried stretching some wet leather
over my manniquin head (he's called Franklin). Anyway, it's coming out
great. Everytime I do a new piece I try something new and that's the
best way to learn--by experimenting. Another thing that will be
different with this piece is that I'm planning on using shellac on it
instead of paint because the leather has a beautiful flesh color
already (duh, it is flesh). I'll be posting the finished product soon.
