Viking Dawn Story
A drekkar breaks through the mist to raid a coastal village. A thing of great beauty and terrible destruction these highly ornate, dragon-headed, Norse longboats terrorized the coasts of the Celtic world. Lesser men’s blood would turn to ice as the dragon’s head emerged from the thick fog, as though they appeared by some magic force.
Paper Casting
Paper casting is to me the perfect medium. It allows me 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 that 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 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 edge or new pigments. I send about 75% of my time with the painted finishes.
