Each large project we do has many components and as we get going the shop quickly fills with these many pieces. Initially it is about welding and grinding, and building the sturdy armatures. Then the features are covered in lath. The progress to this point seems to take a long time. Then comes the sculpting phase. The features we could previously see through become solid and with detailed form. Even though the concrete skins are generally less than inch thick on the the sculptures and add little to the actual size, the features become bulky in an instant. From here on the changes will be dramatic as the grey shapes become colourful and lifelike. Its a fun process to watch. Stay tuned…
