Every piece begins as a model sculpted by hand in oil-based clay. From there, I create a silicone mold and cast the sculpture in bronze using the lost-wax technique—a process that involves a wax model, a ceramic shell, and molten bronze poured at the foundry. After casting, each sculpture is hand-finished and patinated, so no two pieces are ever exactly alike.Want to see how a sculpture transform from clay to bronze?
