A divide between good and evil, masculine and feminine, dark and light. Is it a battle or a submission in order to keep the world’s balance?
Oh the agony and the ecstacy… This was a concept I was very excited to play with, and it did pull itself together somewhat. Was it as clean as I wanted it to be? No. But does anything in art ever come out exactly like we wanted… At least for me. It was a learning experience no doubt, and as we agreed, it’s a decent maquette. It started with the wire frame covered in tin foil, then it was covered with the Sculpey clay. Once I had a majority of the body covered I decided to bake it (because the wet clay was unsteady) in hopes to stabilize it, and it worked! However, once I added more and baked it again, the weight was thrown off again and it started cracking up the legs. And so the drama began… After completing the rest of it and gluing the broken pieces back together, it finally started to stabilize. Thankfully once it was painted if finally started to come together, making it easier to forget the times of strife.
