scultpure v.1

these photos are of a series of ceramic sculptures that i did while in college. the first is a big piece, about 2.5-3' tall. the others are little test/practice pieces as i was figuring out how i wanted the piece to go from drawing to 3d piece.


the basic idea behind this piece was the human form, as well as attempting to connect the idea to worshipping God.


in these two you see a similar form, but it is much more dense, solid.

this is uplifted hands, a feature that didn't make it into the big piece.

this is a variant body shape, without head.

the final piece didn't play out exactly as the drawings had. although this was my third semester of working with clay, i was still learning about strength of material and ways to work bigger pieces in parts. so, it ended up being very focused on the front of the form, almost ignoring the back and sides.
