War dance

Alabaster and bronze, brown and red patina.
Each of these guys was sculpted and cast individually. Each was then mounted on the alabaster stone. There was a danger that these guys would not cast well because some of the parts were really thin. For example on the first figure, the staff he is holding is very thin and it is amazing the tip cast. The feathers were also very thin. However, everything came out well.

Note this is a new post of this sculpture. The prior post has been deleted. I added red patina to reflect the details on the figures that did not show well previously. You can now see the detail on the clothing.

This sculpture was completed June 2007.

Lines and angles

Alabaster and bronze. 14 inches high.
The photo does not show the angle cuts in the stone very well. Too bad because that is what this sculpture is all about. The angles in the bronze are meant to pick up on the angles in the stone. The bronze also has tiny lines cut into the bronze. So there are lots of angles and lots of lines in this sculpture. The bronze patina matches perfectly with the brown in the white stone.

This is the second post of this sculpture. I have deleted the prior post because I changed the sculpture by reducing the spikes a few inches. I like the sculpture a lot more now. I think it is better balanced.

This sculpture was completed in June 2007.
