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