Melusine Gets Her Head

In this video my sculpture of Melusine gets her head! In figurative work, the facial features can be some of the most important parts. I often don't feel like the sculptures truly become beings until I can look them in the eyes.
If you've been following past videos, Melusine was started back in 2019 and is now perhaps 2/3 finished. She stands 8 feet tall and will probably be 9 feet once she gets her wings and arms.

Melusine is a labor of love, and while I made most of the sculpture, I definitely had help. Many thanks to all the folks who donated fabrics and the walker she is built into! Special shout outs to Heidi Marie Photography for the glamour photos, Devin Fance for helping with scales, American Way Thrift for the excellent prom dress fabrics, and to Dave Lovejoy at the Makery on Los Angeles Street (my downtown studio).
