I thought that I'd have finished this sculpture by now, but I have gotten involved in presenting a paper at a museums conference and its taking way longer to deal with than I'd anticipated. Writing is hard and even harder when you're as out of practice as I am. Art is easier, I can see the whole piece at one time.

Anyway, here are some pics I've been meaning to post of the construction of the sculpture that is nearly-but-not-yet finished. His name recently became Dash, and I think that this name will stick. I really like all of the dictionary definitions of the word. They fit his character.

One image shows his frame and the other shows the mess of polystyrene and polyeurahane that he is carved from before the shell layer is applied.
