Whilst I think this is an inspired bust--why else would I have bought it?--I feel the shoulders are too wide, too massive, creating a top-heavy look that throws the piece off-balance. Easy enough to address. . .
As I was removing the wedges of the upper arms, I discovered two things:
- The bust is cold-cast marble/porcelain, one of my favorite mediums!
- The bust is roto-cast; i.e., it is hollow!
The latter is not a problem: I filled the cavity with 100cc of PUR. As I said, there is
nothing about this bust that is problematic; but if you are inclined to "personalization" as I am, you should be aware of the potential potholes before you.
BTW, this unpainted version is a limited edition: I received #2/32.
Back to the bench!
