"Amphitrite" in Progress: Carving stage



This short video shows the technique of carving Styrofoam that I have honed over the years. I first rough out the composition on the Styrofoam block, and then I add details with a sharp knife to create a smooth surface. When the model is complete, molds will be made and the work will be cast in bronze. The sculpture I am carving in the video is a privately commissioned work named Amphitrite.

Welding "Daphne"


Recently I have been busy in the studio and metal workshop constructing several privately commissioned, large-scale bronze sculptures. In this video clip, I am welding details on the upper portion of the sculpture Daphne, seen in progress in the background.
