This is a very important piece for me for several reasons. She is named Liberte' the french word for freedom. She is standing in honor of my freedom as an artist in at last creating what sings from my heart and to begin the journey sculptures that I have wished to create for 2 yrs. now and I finally feel that I have grown in my abilities and am ready as a sculptor to present my work that is true to myself. She stands taller than the others- a full 14.5" not including her base (her base in another 1.5") and she is in full celebration of the exquisite human form in all it's power, grace and beauty. Every bit of her is carefully and lovingly molded and carved with my hands to create a piece that emulates marble. She has taken nearly 80 hrs. to create. She also is born to ebay on a night in which we artists celebrate the union of fellow creators in coming together to defeat a bill though may have been well intended but was so poorly written that our freedoms and liberties in expressing ourselves were threatened to be darkened forever.
I dedicate this piece to my fellow artists on deviant Art who have been ever so supportive of my true heart work.
An OOAK original sculpture. She stands 16" tall including her marble base. She is made from paper clay which is in itself very strong and she as well has a wire armature. Photos up tomorrow as she is almost finished.
She will be in a gallery show in Black Mountain NC March 2012-June 2012. Details coming.
