Marion Deconstructed

Marion is an attractive Euro-Asian friend of mine, who I have long wanted to sculpt. When unmolding a wax cast of the sculpture, I accidentally dropped the wax onto the floor. As I tore apart the ruined casting, I glanced at the distorted head in my hand and was taken by the feeling of movement and the reference to classical sculpture in the piece. Art is not always intentional; and, at times, knowing when to embrace accidents is a better route than blindly following one’s initial concept.
