Work in Progress
BRONZE ANGEL
Work began on this commission many months ago. A full-size armature will enable clay to be sculpted to the full-figure size in the coming months. A maquette was created to consolidate the concept for the client’s approval and the sculptor’s assurance. Stay tuned………………..
By Easter 2023, the clay phase was completed and arrangements started for the bronzing process.
Your sculpture is beautiful. To see her bronzed will be another level but I love her now. Blended with the story, she is even more powerful. I love every element: the flowing line of thin clothing, the body stretch upwards through the arms, the muscle in the neck, the expression of basking in pure sensation on her face and the beautiful folds of gradually decreasing braid on her back. All this from a piece of clay……………….magic !!

On April 26 foundryman Brendan Hackett collected ANGEL for the wax , bronze and patina processes. Jan and I travelled to Blueprint Foundry in West Melbourne twice to ensure the wax was in original order for the bronzing stage. The process continued through the pour and patination stages and finally WHITE ANGEL was delivered back to Moongate………………..congratulations to the team.
