Bronze of Alexis is Complete

Here are a few images of the completed bronze figure of Alexis. Enjoy!

In Which Alecia's Sculptures Explode in the Kiln

Sadly, a sculpture recently self destructed in the kiln taking another one along with it. The process of restoration seemed like something interesting to post. The first stage was to glue the pieces back together and patch the holes. Next, I'll give each sculpture a uniform patina - probably faux bronze, but your suggestions are welcome. One of the wonderful things about sculpture is that almost anything can be repaired!

Gage Academy Awards

I am feeling incredibly honored this evening after Yma won 2nd place at the 18th annual Gage Academy Awards juried by Seattle Art Museum director Derrick Cartwright. Thanks to everyone who came for their kind comments and feedback! The exhibition will be up through July 30 for those interested in checking it out. There is a lot of amazing work to be seen!

Update

It's been a while since I posted, so there's a fair amount of news: The bronze of Zoey is complete, the reclining figure of Hoagie was successfully fired (thanks to Geraldine for painting the areas I had to touch up!) and a new standing male figure of Hoagie is progressing. The photos above were taken at 20 hours.

Lastly, I was able to check out the wax pattern for Alexis yesterday and she is headed down to Portland for casting today.

Alexis is delivered for casting

It was another beautiful Sunday afternoon at Two Ravens Studio. I worked worked with Mike to patina "Zoey" and Delivered my latest piece "Alexis" for casting. Here is a preview of Alexis in the original clay. She will be resting her left hand on a staff, but that will be added at the end.

Congratulations to Ed, Mike and Katrina for the profile in the Tacoma News Tribune. And you can see the bronze (in progress) of Zoey in the background of the photo!

Something from last year

Here are a few images of a terracotta sculpture I did last year. I'm currently working on finishing it up so that it can be fired.
