Zoey's ready for her mold




At last, another sculpture is ready for casting! Unfortunately, the Foundry in Tacoma has closed, but Ed, their master mold-maker is still taking in projects. He'll make the mold and then contract out the casting to a foundry in Portland and coordinate the chasing, patina etc. I'm delivering "Zoey" to him tomorrow. Here are a few images.

  1. how tall is she? thats really awesome. I know its the armature, but the pipe coming out of the model always makes me think its making a statement about industry or sewage.

  2. She's only 20" tall. Luckily, there will be no armature pipes once she is cast in bronze! Btw, which Nick are you?
