This short time-lapse video shows how we load (in this case, unload) a big sculpture into the kiln.

Tiger Man
34"x 18"x 18," Fired clay with stain
Private collection: San Angelo, TX

“Tiger Man,” a life-sized "humanimal" sculpted in water-based clay, is a collaborative work in the our signature style of classically inspired contemporary realism. I sculpted the figure and the surface motifs were created by Colin. The design work creates a transition between the animal and human portions and adds a narrative quality.

Inspired by heraldic imagery and paintings on the ceiling of the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, the designs start at Tiger Man's upper back with a face of a tiger. Various animals of prey, including Boar, Nilgai, Antelope, Ibis and other birds move in free flowing designs away from the tiger, spiraling over his upper arms and lower back.
