Originals

This page shows sculptures before they have been cast in some other material. The first two on the left below are Marcos de Barros in terracotta, The portrait head cracked after taking a mould for casting in bronze.  The next two are views of an eight-times life-size head. The first of these has had the aspect ratio slightly distorted by my lack of experience with image manipulation programs.

Below left is the giant head shown in the position it was intended to be displayed in.  Both in buff clay have been variously spattered with slip etc, due to being near students using a ceramics wheel. The last is the rear view of a bronze Herm, subsequently gold plated.
