At the time, this was the LARGEST sculpture that I ever made.
It’s about 4' x 6' and weights close to 300 pounds! It’s not
fun to move. Originally, I had wanted to recreate the door from “Dante’s
Inferno”, but the size and weight would’ve turned out preposterous.
A
few years ago, I thought of leaving the NJ/NY area behind and moving to the sunny shores
of Key West. I wanted to do an “island” sculpture. I love the old
sailor myths, so I thought I’d do a sculpture of the Sirens. Starting with the
already cast central figure as the guide, I had a different model lay down on opposite
sides and worked from there. I think the starfish and shells added nicely to the
nautical effect. |
