Work in Progress...

Just thought I would post some pictures of what I am working on. It is going to be an installation piece. There will be six of the carcass pieces and then there will be a sculpture of a goat at the end of them. They have holes on the side that the viewer will look into and there will be lithophanes inside that have business related stuff on them. The carcasses I've made so far will probably not end up being in the final piece, but it gives you an idea nonetheless.
Here's the second one that I made. I've burnished it to make it nice and shiny. The body is a little twisted though, and the lid where I made the hole doesn't look very nice so this will probably just be used for tests. 

This is the first one I made and I like the shape of this one better. This is how they will look when they are hanging.

This is the wax carving for the lithophane so far. I need to add some lighter areas to the suit and probably refine the face some, but overall I'm happy with how detailed I was able to get this one. If you were wondering, this guy is one of the AIG executives. Eventually this will be used to make a mold that I can cast the porcelain in. Then I am going to use some printing techniques and layering to add some more texture and information.
