Show and Tell: Work in Progress



The assembled pieces are carefully carved and chased with engraving tools and chisels. I've taken care to keep a spacial relationship with the layers of the composition.

The details are beginning to be roughed in. Certain areas have been corrected by moving metal around with a blunt chasing tool.

The volume and the subtler shapes of the form are coming along. This is a self developing process for me. Though things are always planned ahead, the working causes changes in the execution.
