After completing "Return to Dreamland", I wanted to explore further the idea of a kinetic figure interacting with sand. I wanted to make a figure combing through the sand, so I decided to have her sitting on a rotating platform.
This piece is available at Obsolete in Venice, CA.
I didn't take as many in-progress pictures this time, but here are the ones I have.......
Her rake-like hand.
Her arm carved and ready for paint.
Her body in-progress. I think this is the first time I've done a figure in this position. I've done a few figure sitting before, but not sitting on the ground like this.
Her head.
Her body right before I assemble and dress her.
The background for the piece is actually a couple of 'paint-by-numbers' landscape paintings that I tore up and decoupaged back together. I then painted over the whole thing with washes of color.
The final shot, taken by Gregory Campbell.
Dreamtime the Movie......
A close-up of her hand moving through the sand.
Spectacular piece. In Awe.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Great position and love the interaction with the sand. Really impressed with the painting of the background, too.
ReplyDeleteLovely piece--adore the sand element---a robotic zen garden.
