Manc of the Month

Ok here is the final post of the day. I really can not sit on it any longer.
First of all I want to say a big thank you to @samowenhull a very talented artist for nominating me to be the August Manc of the month.
I would also like to thank Domino and Nerissa @cottononmcr for giving me this opportunity of which I am truly grateful.
I would also like to thank my friends @ollyflude and Adam Swan for proof reading my answers, and my friend @yugllaf for technical support

Groggy pink

Well a much needed creative day that does not seem to be ending.
Got some grogged pink clay to work with. It might be my new love more than the course Vulcan black.

Totemic two heads

Saturday morning rocking out to Peter Gabriel live in Athens, building this.

Totemic two heads.
I really do need to get a banding wheel it would make life so much easier when making these.

Conversation

And I still found some time to take an hour out and build this fellow. It may not look it but there is a definite conversation with the past with this.

Small shard figurative balanced brick stack.
I’m sure it is hard for some of you to see what I see but this says another figure to me.
I am really getting off on the strength I can feel coming from these sculptures

Waiting to collapse

Out of the clutter and in to the studio.
.
Three monumental forms together.
.
I like the interplay between them, fragments hacked and shattered to make stackable figurative forms, each as precarious as the next, waiting to collapse under their own weight.

Distorted

Not an obvious route but something is forming thanks to brick chisels a mallet and a skip.
.
Distorted figurative memories
