Balance
After a very long 'drought', here she is, my new sculpture: Spreading her arms to find that focus inside herself, that exact place of balance, where movement can freeze.

Her Size
Thanks aurora, thanks Billyg,
She is 10"x19"x34". (You can see her from more angles in my site, go to 'Bottom Hall' click her icon, then click 'Show Detail'.)

The neck looks a little long and straight, otherwise I can't see a thing wrong with her.
How much of a balance does this actually have? How much is "shaved" from the bottom of the ball for it to stand?
What did you sculpt this from?

How much of a balance does this actually have? Contrary to popular belief, she is quite balanced. The way to achieve that is to build her on an armature that is firmly attached to the base. The armature goes through the ball and her leg.
How much is "shaved" from the bottom of the ball for it to stand? Very little.
What did you sculpt this from? I did this in classic clay which is then cast into bronze.
Thank you for taking the time to write - I appreciate this.

Aah. Cool. Ever seen those balancing people made from chrome balls and sticks? Balance worked out beyond belief?
This reminds me of those guys. Years since I've seen one. I'll have to find some knick-nack store around here that has useless stuff like that.
Loved the other works on your site, BTW. The reliefes especially.

Almost forgot!
When this is cast in bronze, be sure to show that one to us.

exceptional
Uvi. An exceptional peice with much grace and rythmn. It is so well sculpted that I am hesitant to even comment, but to my eye, it appears that the femur is a little long causing the her left leg to appear like it is attached after the pelvic region was formed. If one sketched the "bones" over a print of the sculpture would the femur attach to the pelvis that low. The flow from the hip to the muscles of the upper leg suffer somewhat due to the attachment. It may be just not being able to view the peice in it's entirety that causes this effect. I went to your site and it is awesome as well. You have great talent, imagination and technical skill. Obviously, you stylalize for artistic effect and liberties make for interesting forms. In any case, most would be hard pressed to find much fault with this great sculpture. Thanks for sharing. Max |

Max,
Your comments are well taken. I think one of my difficulties is not using a live model. On the other hand I do take certain artistic liberties, and in this case make the forms longer than they really are.
Glad you went to my gallery site. Hope you will come back again on occasion... Thanks again for writing!

Uvi. A lovely piece! I also checked out your web site. I particularly appreciate the way you utilize artistic license to convey emotion etc. One question...when you say "ceramic" are you referring to fired ceramic or the use of ceramic clay that will be later cast?Awsome web site!

Diane,
Thank you! Most of the pieces on my gallery site are fired ceramics. This newest piece, Balance, is the first one done in Classic Clay, which remains unfired and lends itself easily to bronze casting.
I expect to have my first bronze cast of Balance to be ready in just a few weeks.
Glad you came to visit the gallery, and thanks for writing!
