Description
Celtic Tree of Life
Smaller version of my signature work.
The Tree contains the 7 Celtic life forms, Plant, Insect, Fish, Reptile, Bird, Beast and Man. The lower half represents the potential and code for life that in pasted from generation to generation, while the top half reveals the current manifestation of that life.
This description is on the back of each piece.
The frame dimensions are 12" x 16" and 5/8" deep.
Paper Casting
Paper casting is to me the perfect medium. It allows me use almost every skill set. A typical piece begins as a drawing or two. Then I sculpt it in wax. This is a long refining process and often the image sculpted is far different than the drawing. Then I build a dam around the wax and pour a rubber mold directly off the surface. A casting is made by pressing the wet cotton pulp into the mold and extracting the water. Then I finish the surface.
While every piece that emerges from the mold is about the same, no two are really painted the same. Maybe I would if I could, but the painting process is always in flux. I am always experimenting with ways of mixing colors or washes and hard edges or new pigments. I spend about 75% of my time with the painted finishes.
