Here is the model for the center of my new stone sculpture which will be done in bronze later on. I was inspired by fiddleheads; the brown center pieces are acorn tops that I found on my walk.
Wow what a long process this center design has been! Finally completed and awaiting a photo to document it ; I am at peace. Can anyone relate to the utter restlessness one experiences whilst in the throes of creative works?
I stopped making these birdbaths because my cat ate this sweet wild bird that I had encouraged to come, drinkand bath.
Part of why I do what I do with sculpture is because of my intuition. The visualizations I have seem to be downloaded from above. I access these visions through my imagination. Without the strength of my intuition, creative ideas are not as vivid.
I am working on a clay design for my next bronze insert. It is part of a large granite flower layout that is the sister to the last sculpture I finished "Dawn". I see these pieces of art located on either side of an entry way but they usually pick their own location. I decided to work out the center detail before I begin my stone work because stone work uses up all of my energy. This way I can take time to visualize the out come in more detail without fatigue as an obstacle.
I am going to attempt to blog here. I'm a slow typist so it's a little daunting to express myself in this way. I usually speak about my process with alot more ease. I thought you might be interested to know that I use sacred geometry to design many of my sculptures. I find it to be the best help for design challenges. It has helped me to correctly draw a hexagon for my flowers to lay in and to find the golden mean to keep things progressing towards visual clarity.
