Shaping a Face

Description

This image portrays a sculptor’s clay-dusted hands shaping a quiet, expressive face. Muted earth tones and a dark background bring focus to the careful work and the emerging form. It adds a thoughtful, creative note to a studio, workspace, or living area.

Artist

Sculptor in Pittsburgh. Mid scale figurative work in reclaimed steel, torsos and hands mostly, sourced from old bridges and machine shops around western PA. Took me three years to stop fighting the material and let heat distortion do some of the talking. Still cracking welds.
