Rood met koper - Copper and red

Copper and red go nicely together on this shining mask. 

Big Mask Skeleton

The skeleton of the Big Mask still needs some cropping. And add-ons such as nose and lips.

Current height is 1,75 meter. 

Zwarte Engel - Black Angel

The partitioning of this angel is a consequence of the size of my kiln.

There is an aluminium rod inside it. To prevent it from getting blown over by the wind. 

Black angel drying in the studio: 

Grijze schaaltjes - Grey bowls

This series of grey bowls was made in the studio of the "Kneedbare Steen". 

By myself. In a pottery course. 

They are now privately owned by an anonymous art collector in Haren (Netherlands). 

Serpentijn - Serpentine

Serpentine has a somewhat greater density than soapstone. While working on this sculpture I decided it is best and most convenient to only buy stones you are able to lift yourself. 

Hence the art resin with which I am constructing my Big Mask. 

 

Ingrediënten - Ingredients

Below the ingredients of Big Mask: powder, liquid, copper, styrofoam, iron, sand, fibre, coating. (Only thing missing is cement for the pedestal.) 

Targeted dimensions: 2m x 1m x 0.5m. 

The model:

Drie Maskers - Three Masks

The left mask is model for the Big Mask of artificial resin (work under construction).

Jar-Jar Binks' look-alike

Staring at this portrait's face, I decided it made me think of Jar-Jar Binks. 

Waxinelichtjeshouder - Tealight holder

This tealight holder is two meters tall. 

Consisting of strut installation, ceramics, and tie-strips.

Kars Kopvoeter - Harry Headfooter

The first drawings by children of people are headfooters. Other examples can be found in the work by Jheronimus Bosch. ( See Last Judgement, foreground of central panel; Hermit Saints Triptych, bottom of left-hand panel.) And below.
