Today
I started with the heart to my sculpture of the Patriot Woman. Then I
added more foam to bring out the shapes of the piece. Yes, I will cover up the heart with more foam and a lot of clay. But she will always have a heart and soul.
I
learned about adding the heart to each sculpture from a Native American
artist. She started with the heart and felt that each piece captured
the soul of her ancestors inside and that made a contact with her people
and their spirits. It made an impression with me and I also have always
started with the heart and for me the soul of each piece. Then I work
on the face which will set her character and attitude.
I paint the foam so that the clay sticks better.
