  Masks
upper left bronze, others copper
These masks were first sculpted in wax. The bronze (upper left) was then cast with a standard
lost wax process. I used an electroforming process similar to copper plating and a simple hammering process
to make the other three |

Fossil

Annapolis is on the Chesapeake Bay and it's impossible not to be
influenced by the endless variety of things that wash up on the beach.
This is my attempt at sculpting an ancient (imaginary) species of fish.

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.
