Soon I will stop saying this is the first ... I did, but this is the first head I've did. I really like doing heads, I hope to do more. My favorite part is making up hair for them. It's hard to do realistic hair in clay. Once you accept that fact you can have lots of fun making up hair. Which is what I did here.
The model for this was a very happy petite French girl about 23 years old. This shows I'm not good at representationalism. The people who have seen this one have very different reactions to it. Some think its an old woman, some think it's a young girl, others think its a boy. I think the last one stems from the fact I didn't finish the body enough to give clues to the female form.
This is the first sculpture I kept. It sits in my living room at the moment. In a future post I will show the finished piece and talk about how it was finished.
