These images are in progress shots of a new sculpture I'm working on, Queen America, This piece will be a life-sized bust and will possess a headdress made from found objects and other industrial materials. At this point I have basically finished the ceramic part of the sculpture and will now slowly allow it to dry so that It may be fired in the kiln.

The image below is a picture I took while I was still shaping gout the basic form of the piece. I built the head solid using an armature made of plumping pipes for support.  I then cut it apart and hollowed it out. I made the base separately and attached the base and head when they were leather hard.  I then went back and cleaned up the form.  I like the process of solid building because I feel like i have more control over the shape of the piece and can change it easily if necessary, It also reduces the amount of stress on the sculpture that may have been created from using darts or attaching many sections.

More images of Queen America In progress to come. Especially of the building of the headdress and surface finishing.
