Still life

Evan! If your gallery on DA is as honest as it is revealing, you've worked on some of my favorite films. There's a history in your work - a patience and commitment to execution - that's going to help set this section of the site on fire.

Keep stuffing this thread with mutative goodness.

And, as a parting comment, your Still Life piece (this child "cradled" in a mutagenic mass) has just made my Thursday. I'm glad I stopped in here first before kicking off work!

I am sorry to say that I am not familair with your name, but wow, that impressive stuff. Very strange and interesting, and impeccably sculpted.

Designs that creative and that well executed don't need to be painted.

I'd love to see more.

Evan, if you don't mind a question, I was interested in knowing what your favorite clay is to work with. I'm sure it's different for whatever project your working on, but if you had to pick one, what would it be?

Thanks

Over the years I have mainly worked with Chavant, Waterclay (Wed), and Roma Plastilina. There are pros and cons to each of these products. With softer clays, like Roma and Wed, you can arrive at your forms rather quickly, but it requires much more control in the finishing process. With firmer clays, like Chavant, it is the exact opposite. Initially, you go through hell carving, but once you reach your desired form, everything you put into it seems to hold up better. A particular clay should be chosen based upon the very nature of the sculpture. I would never use a soft water-based clay for sculpting any kind of robotic hardware. I would use a very firm Chavant that could be sanded and polished. Likewise, I feel the suppleness of skin can be more realistically produced by using a softer product like Roma or Wed.

What I am always aiming for in my art is intensity of emotion and ideas. For me, art is very impulsive....similar to feelings. The first time you experience something it is usually the strongest. As time goes by, the emotion becomes weaker. I feel no differently about the beginning stages of creating a sculpture. The majority of my personal sculptures were rendered in the first 24 hour period. Of course, I spend many weeks adjusting and refining, but the overall mood is created in the very first sitting. So if I am fighting to model my idea with using a laborious and uncooperative clay, the emotional side of the piece suffers. That raw burst of creative energy can be greatly diminished or even lost if I have to spend days battling a very tough material.

Many people love using Chavant...I have often been dissatisfied with the results. Even the softer grades of Chavant still have a rigidity that I find a hindrance. Every artist needs to find a material of choice that best conveys their artistic expression. I’ve come to the conclusion that sculpting with Waterclay or Roma Plastilina allows me the emotional freedom that I just can’t achieve with Chavant. I thought this was an interesting question about the qualities and psychology of a material...and the implications it has on the artist’s work.
