Sculpting so others can touch memories
March 16, 2011
Working in my studio today, I remembered one of the most poignant commissions I had. A family had a child that died during birth, the only tangible thing they possessed was the hand prints of their baby. They asked me to create two tiny baby hands in clay based from those hand prints.
A sorrowfully sweet commission - Yet, also very fulfilling to create a memory they could always touch.
