Southern Paiute Project

$80,000

This piece is sculpted in clay and stands 28 inches. It is a maquet for a much larger deliberation. I have carefully sculpted this piece to conform to all the Neo-Classical guidelines and Policlytus positioning. I think that a true Neo-Classical figure has never been sculpted out of fabricated steel and I propose that this be the first. I seek a patron to finance the sculpting of this figure at 250 percent life size. That is 14 ft tall. It would be about an 80,000 to 100,000 dollar project. The details of the pose, and how it fits with the actual culture of the Native American Paiute, are worth discussing with the interested financier.

Hi there. I have been sculpting in Metal for more than half of my 40 years.
I love Metal as an art medium. It is relatively unexplored and there are only a few people dabbling in the more challenging genres. It is a validating and awful thing to try and form hard metal into natural/classical shapes and congruent themes. I do a lot of grinding and pounding, followed by a lot of laborious intricacies. Energy for it ebbs and flows, but the whole of it is quite satisfying.
You may be confident that my work on your project will always be an attempt to maximize the medium. I’ll perform in a manner that would qualify my work as being among the very best available anywhere.
