Fragment 2
copper
24" x 12" x 6"
The "skin" of this piece is made of very thin electroformed copper. I was
hoping to portray the subject's strength (by sculpting her in metal) but
also her more vulnerable, fragile qualities (by the thinness of the media).
Electroforned copper is quite dense, so you don't have to create a thick
surface to get a solid piece.
