Statement from the Artist:

"Giorgi" (October 2022) was one of my early favorite works. Sculpting from life takes time, practice, and many instances of achieving less than what you might have hoped. This was one of my first sculptures that I was very happy with - even though I saw areas that I thought needed more time. Sculpted alongside a teacher over the course of one month, I began to really enjoy working with clay.

Now, nearly six years later, "Leslie" (April 2026) was made in less than a third of the time and while it is not easy to say which is "better" I do think there is an improvement in my seeing and sculpting the sitters' likeness and form. Looking towards the future, as I improve I will aim to create larger and hopefully more interesting works.
