Process Example

This series started with a handmade collage that I made from cutting up magazines.

Godemiche Collage Framed
Rope Sculpture

Then I hand formed a clay sculpture over a wooden armature, painted the air hardened clay with acrylic paint, and then ran the rope through the mouths. This piece stood about thirty inches tall.

As a result of the above two creations, I then painted this oil painting on canvas of the sculpture as the model. This painting is 20″ high x 16″ wide, and is in a private collection.

Rope Oil Painting
Rope II Oil Painting

Then I painted this second oil painting from the same model, sized differently at 12″ x 12″ square, and incorporated more realistic flesh colors. This painting is available and is in my own inventory.

Then I created this graphite drawing of this same model, sized 20″ high x 16″ wide on bond paper. This drawing is available and in my own inventory.

Rope Graphite Drawing
Smashed and Rebuilt Sculpture

For my next step in this process, I took the above sculpture, and I smashed it up, and then I rebuilt it into this piece that you see here.

Next, I created this oil painting, and I added in the shoulders to complete this figure.

Five Mouths Painting
Smashed and Rebuilt II Painting

Then I smashed the above sculpture a second time, rebuilt it into a new form (not shown here), and then I created this painting here.

Now, only the paintings and drawings remain,

and the sculptures no longer exist.
