Self Sculpture

So here is a piece I have been wanting to share with you guys for a while! It's a cast of myself in Mod-rock which is currently waiting to be fired so I can paint it and mount it.

Frontal View
(The neck got bent in the Mod-rock casting and the darker shades are where I had to fill in parts where the cast had broken)


View from the back
(Shows the support structure that prevented it from caving in)
I am happy with the overall shape of it and the creases in the clay gave me the idea of stitches and my traces piecing how I am together. So from an accident I gave new ideas I wouldn't have otherwise. I will continue my work with this piece by painting it white then painting black stitches in the clay creases. I will then draw small emblem's on the different blocks to show where I've come from and whta has made me, the person I am.
