| After the end of the day I'll come back into the
studio and check out the work in progress. During these
moments I can stand back and try to have a more objective
view about how the piece is developing. This is
an important part of the process....just removing myself from the
work a little bit which then allows me to examine the
form itself.
Sometimes when we're engrossed in the
making of a piece we tend to focus more of our attention on
the technical aspect of the work. This isn't a bad thing, it's
necessary in fact, but it's a good idea to slow down some, move around on
the piece and maybe back off a little bit. Every section is critical
in a piece of sculpture so it's important not to let one area or another
get out of hand.
Tomorrow I may make some adjustments
or maybe I'll simply finish off the final section and
weld it in place. We'll see. |
