Horse Power - Cast Paper
Horse Power
My Celtic Horse Fantasy.
As a Celtic symbol, the Horse was associated with the virtues of battle. This made the horse a symbol of victory, conquest, longevity, wealth, honor, valor, and triumph in battle in Celtic culture. The Celts hailed the Horse as the beast belonging to the Celtic sun god Lugh and assigned it a place with the Celtic goddess Epona.

Paper Casting
Paper casting is to me the perfect medium. It allows me to use almost every skill set. A typical piece begins as a drawing or two. Then I sculpt it in wax. This is a long refining process and often the image sculpted is far different from the drawing. Then I build a dam around the wax and pour a rubber mold directly off the surface. A casting is made by pressing the wet cotton pulp into the mold and extracting the water. Then I finish the surface.
While every piece that emerges from the mold is about the same, no two are really painted the same. Maybe I would if I could, but the painting process is always in flux. I am always experimenting with ways of mixing colors or washes and hard edges or new pigments. I spend about 75% of my time with the painted finishes.
