2020 was a year of d destruction and rebirth. It 2020 was a year of d destruction and rebirth. It seems fitting that this piece is my last piece available from all the sculptures that I have done in 2020. 'A final Salute'.... This has been my second year as an exhibiting artist and I have learnt so much about myself and the development of my craft since. Not forgetting the trials and tribulations this year has brought us, I have so many things to be grateful for. I bid this year good bye and I welcome all of the lessons and changes that it left.

A protest and cause which have existed for years, the mantra "I can't breathe" was heard, and somehow in the middle of a pandemic this message began to resonate louder than it ever did before..."

Reposted from @statesofconfinement Process video P Reposted from @statesofconfinement Process video Painting the sculpture, I have decided to paint my sculptures copper with a blue patina to give them an aged look. The colour choice of the figures are supposed to represent expiration and mortality. The figures themselves will be given this aged look however the doorknobs will be kept with their original shine and luster. Ritualistically I only name my sculptures when they are finished, seeing the almost completed sculpture, I have decided to name it: "A Final Salut" #clay #sculpture #kilnfolk #nearcompletion #exhibition #statesofconfinement #21gunsaute #art #trinisculptor #triniartist
Reposted from @statesofconfinement Process vid So, Reposted from @statesofconfinement Process vid So, on to phase 4 (phase three would be the firing of the pieces in the kiln. The kiln is a giant oven in which you put the clay bodies, in order for it/ them to vitrify and become a ceramic piece-s). In this phase it's about the finishing of the pieces, this involves any patch work needed, if the piece cracked during the firing process, it includes sanding the piece and then painting. In this vid I am priming the piece before I paint it. #ihatesanding #painting #paintingart #sculpure #ceramic #kilnfolk #artexhibition #statesofconfinement #processvideo #wip #workinprogress
Reposted from @statesofconfinement Process video H Reposted from @statesofconfinement Process video Here u can see the piece nearing completion, these are more or less the final touches to the sculpting phase. This phase normally takes me a week to sculpt one piece, mainly because I have a full time job and I go to school part-time. So my working hours are crazy. #processvideo #workinprogress #artexhibition #confinement #ttdf #aimfire #clay #statesofconfinement
Reposted from @statesofconfinement Process video. Reposted from @statesofconfinement Process video. After I complete my conceptualizing phase, it's now on to sculpting. Here it's all about proportions and human anatomy and I cannot stress this enough, a lot a lot a lot of reference pictures. To get the proper folds of the army suit I looked at a bunch of TTDF pictures no Facebook. I usually ask my family members to pose for me so that I can get proper referencing of the proportions. I decided not to post the reference pictures I took of my brother because his potbelly is outside and he would never forgive me for publicly posting it 🤭 #theprocess #sculpting #sculptor #statesofconfinement #exhibition #wip #workinprogress
