Each sculpture is initially cast in gypsum. These casts are exhibited to the public, usually in juried shows. On request, pieces will be cast in bronze or polymeric compounds. Popular works are cast in numbered editions.
I use a patina of ferric nitrate brown sometimes shadowed with sulfide. The richness of the color heightens the feeling of the pieces, allowing each to express the subject most effectively. Selected gypsum pieces are kept white. Some are brightly colored as it suits the piece.
All pieces of sculpture have dimensions in the range of 10 to 25 centimeters (4 to 10 inches), with occasional standing figures as tall as 52 cm (20 inches). I feel such a size is appropriate for an object that can be placed in a home - on a 30-to-36 inch pedestal, a shelf or side table - and studied and enjoyed at an intimate distance.
