Sculpture of The Week 9/27/11

This week I wanted to focus on my sculpture, Truth Revealed. This sculpture is created, like others, using the lost wax method and first created in clay. I then hand-patinaed him with rich, deep colours. He is put on top of a custom made steel base, and a light is installed that can be turned on to shine out of the sphere and illuminate the face. The story behind this piece is about a winged man (part mortal, part god) who sees through his blindfold and finds the truth he has been searching for. We live in a world where lies and falsities are in abundance. I wanted to create a piece that communicates the power within all of us to find the truth and disregard the rest, and that also spoke of the innate abilities in all of us that we will find with the truth.
