START TO FINISH: Steps along the way to completing a sculptural commission
In February, 2000, I was approached regarding the production of sculptures of St. Peter and St. Paul for the parish of Sts. Peter and Paul, Danville, KY. After a good bit of correspondence with Father Paul Prabell (the pastor), two or three visits to the church, and substantial research into the appearance of the saints, I produced a pair of maquettes. (A maquette is a small three-dimensional sketch - that is, a preliminary study.)
1. Here are the 24"H maquettes. (St. Peter is in front with the staff.) The maquettes are made of plastilene (oil-based) clay over a metal armature. I was not satisfied with St. Paul and did another maquette before submitting the pair to the parish committee for possible acceptance.
