Making Sculpture

I have been commissioned to create three large sculptures for a local development in Chapel Hill, NC. The first of these, Breathe, is completed and pictured above. The building project is just getting started so the actual installation date is still a good ways in the future - likely sometime in 2024. Which is a good thing, because I still have two more to fabricate.
The making of Whirled of Nature (pictured left and up first in the production schedule), and Whirled of Imagination will consume much of the coming year. Follow along and see how these pieces come together as 2023 unfolds.
