I started creating life size limbs to make molds of for this project.  They will have joints that can move.  This way I can continually reproduce limbs and create more figures.  I can work out more ideas for how to pose and how they will exist space.  Below are pictures of the sculpted limbs I started this week as well as sketches of how I think I want to pose them.

This week I finished the details of the larger figure, which I now will make alterations.  I will be cutting it into parts and pinching the edges to create a more rough look.  This will also make room to view the spine through the cracks in the figure.  I also started building the spine this week.  The spine is built out of porcelain, and I would like to find a stone to lightly press some texture into the clay.

I also was able to visit some local art museums, where I collected some inspiration photos!  I went to the Carnegie Center for Art & History in New Albany, IN and the Speed Art Museum in Louisville, KY.

This week I have been focusing on the figure, capturing it fairly realistically, and choose the type of clay I will use.  For the body of the sculpture, I've been deciding between adding granite or sawdust to the clay to add a rough, interesting texture.  The surface of skin will relate to the emotional, psychological issues I am discussing about pain.  Combining this with an interesting glaze can support the chronic pain story I am telling though the work that words cannot express.  For example, crawl glaze, crackle, or crater glaze.  These are shown below:

​This week I created a small figure for practice, as well as a canvas to test some of these glaze ideas on a shapely, upright surface.  This figure is around 6 inches tall.  I also have created a bunch of test tiles for the glaze testing.  The real piece I've decided should be closer to life-size.  This will help create a one-on-one relationship with the viewer, I'm hoping to be more relatable.
