| "Girl with Rose" - Malone Red Clay, life size, 2000 |
This piece was completed during my years in high school. I would really love to go back and do some sculpture again. It's incredibly rewarding to build something up from a mere blob of clay with the end results actually resembling a 3-dimensional object. As soon as I get my hands on the space...and kiln...
This was a good learning process too. I had never handled clay like this before (aside from playing with the stuff as a kid and making blobby 'masterpieces' that my parents would then, bless them...display proudly as if it actually looked good). I learned the process from building it up and stabbing it with holes to avoid air bubbles to firing and finally adding the shellac finish. And then magically...yay! It looks like a real girl!
