Spent the month in Alfred working on figure pieces for an October show in Corning. It was beyond amazing. A little weird at first to be back at my alma mater and such a time warp when you see old colleagues there in that tiny little town who look almost younger. Then once you get back into your work you forget the past 12 years of your life and it's like you never graduated. I guess that's why I started sculpting my children. Maybe I missed them a little too.
Olive is a life-size kore figure complete with archaic smile and Abel is a trophy bust. The two of them set the scene for our family's real life centaurmachy which is captured in a series of ceramic tiles in the style of the Hellenistic temple metopes. I'll post more on the exhibition as the date gets closer.
