| This is the third in the Figurative series of Bronze sculptures conceived in the period from 1993 through 1994. It's been shown in various galleries and exhibitions, mainly in California, and has been well recieved. The inspiration for this piece came from the whole concept of "Rapture" translated to "Wrapture" and the feeling of that concept, including the ascension and enfolding embrace. This was the first project in a Moldmaking course taught by Holt Murray, and was originally modeled in oil clay. A waste mold was made of that, and then a plaster master was cast in that. The mold was destroyed in the process, but the resultant Master was good, and it was finished to a very highly reflective state. A polyurethane mold was made of that, from which the waxes are cast to translate into the Bronze you see above. There is also another Limited Edition cast in Hydrostone of 470 pieces available for $110 each. Bases are not included due to people's personal taste, but are available at $50 for a wooden base, and $100 for a Black Granite base. A Certificate of Authenticity and a Transfer of Original Artworks accompanies each piece. |
