Help Support a Sculptor

Help Support A Sculptor

Project 2013-09-15 23:01:26 +1200

I am a full-time trained sculptor working in a traditional modelling techniques with expensive modern materials. Your support will allow me to increase my creative output by offsetting the costs of supplies and equipment. My work covers a range of subjects from the abstract to representational with concentration on the inspiring flowing form of the female human body. Some work has a political content reflecting my concern for threats to the human condition, the common good, and democracy, specifically in the New Zealand context. Most works are produced in limited editions of one to twelve.

A donation of $45.00 will provide me with 4.5 kg. of casting stone. A donation of $60.00 will provide me with 4 lbs. of polyurethane moulding material. A donation of $65.00 will provide me with a filtered breathing mask. A donation of $133.00 will provide me with 4 lbs. of polyurethane casting resin. A donation of $180.00 will provide me with a 5 kg. casting vibration table. Donations from $5.00 through $44.00 will go towards miscellaneous supplies. Donations at and beyond $1,000.00 will be used to fund castings and studio rent and will merit a luncheon discussion with me in Nelson. Donations beyond $44.00 will provide the donor with an equal deduction from the purchase of any of my works.  Donors at or above $20.00 will receive a cast 12.5 cm miniature 1/2 model replica of a top of the south argellite mere.

The work, Democracy in Peril, is reproducible from molds, is 44 cm. X 38 cm. by 13 cm. and is cold cast in resin.  Another work, Healing Angel, is also cold cast in resin with the scallop shell base cast this time in stone, with wings formed of aluminium bar and nylon:

An abstract is a small study for a monument, also cast in resin:  

Almost ready for molding then casting is this 58 cm. high figure, Asana:

Your support of the arts in general, and my own in particular, are gratefully appreciated.
