RE: I just SAW him!

Such clean cuts. Surgical. Precise :P I don't believe hatred was a medium. It would generate more jagged sawtooth marks. This work, I proclaim, a fraud. It's too clean. :D

You are on the money here!
I had to polish this stupid thing up so it suitable for exhibition.
So hours, upon hours with sand paper in my hand - that's a result :D
And if you will look closely - there are big gaps there :D
Sanding plaster is terrible. Its bad enough when its a wall you're fixing, let alone a three dimensional object. I think it would have been better unpolished, leaking powder into the gallery. "Oh that's just the director's cocaine addiction. They must really like this piece"
So there is good reason to use plaster at least for the very start of your education.
Plaster is white, and it exposes all the deficiencies that the colour of clay or other material could hide. It also allows you to see how strongly the colour influences the perception of the sculpture. White is uncompromising and very raw. To make a work interesting, you either have to develop an interesting texture or, on the contrary, make the work smooth as velvet or polished to a mirror finish. Anything in between is boring and looks unattractive.
I did my specialisation in medal-making - which mainly involves chiselling and abrading with sandpaper small, thin plaques cast from ceramic plaster. Cruelly tedious work. I chose this specialisation only because my dream department of "stone technology" was closed when I finished my first year (specialisation need to me chosen out after the 2nd year of art studies in Poland, at least according to the old system of education).
I agree. Plus - knowing the art-circles that would be highly probable scenario. Although - this sculpture apart from sawing thing is really mediocre at best. Hated it at the time when was made, hate it know. I've learned a bunch through this though:)
Was counting to be called not only a fraudster but perhaps dimwit too. Crook! I like this one too!
I'm pretty sure there's always lights turned on inside your mind. You are certainly not a dim wit. You're more like on of those memes with lasers for eyes, such is the strength of your wit shining out from your gaze, burning through bullshit and written praises of dill.
I asked my boyfriend about it. Laser eyes thing is exactly right :D
Nit sure if they serve me as well as you described it. Actually I always though I have terrible judgment of a people character. But I just hope it is thing of the past already.
