About this time last year, I had just finished up a couple of classes at the CSSC in VT. My plan was to finish some of the pieces of marble that I had blocked out as components. Unfortunately, I had to have knee surgery instead – so, I’m just getting around to assembly.

My idea was to make a series of them with slightly different gestures, textures, sizes and finish each of them with their own unique, found object head.
