New Ceramic Lady

As you may have noticed I tend to make sculptures of men. This is because I am not too good at depicting ladies. In recent months I have slowly been working on improving in this department and the sculpture which you see is my most successful to date. It will likely be included in a larger sculpture, perhaps with a landscape, at some future date.

Just got back some of my ceramic heads

As I said I just got back these ceramic heads from the show at the Guerilla Cafe where they were in a show of ceramic sculpture.
I will post more of these ceramic heads as I just took a bunch of photos of the ones that were left from the show.

Shu-Hui Yang part 2

Hue just sent me this picture of some of her heads.

Shu-Hui Yang

My friend Hue has been procrastinating and has not sent me any pictures of her work.
However I remembered that I had a couple that she gave me a while ago for a different project.
This is a piece of her's that is made up of a bunch of heads strung together in three groups.
These are some of my favorate individual heads that she has made and one of my favorate pieces.






More of Hue's work as soon as I get it.

Something old I found on the Internet

More Shots From Head Count

Thank you Hue for more pictures from the show. I like this one that she took documenting the piece of Derek's that she bought for herself.

Another fine gallery shot from Hue.

This is Hue's work. Some nice heads with bottles tied on top.
She often employs mixed media in her pieces. Maybe she will get around to sending me more pictures of her other work so you all can see it.

And finally another gallery shot where you can see my work and also Jordan Mello's beautiful pieces incorporating fabric bodies.

Thanks again Hue.

Only a Couple "Gallery Shots"
