Why does something have to take as much time as I have for it? I am tired and a little frustrated. For the last two hours I have been trying to rebuild a hand that in a bit of impetuous dissatisfaction I destroyed last night....I have to photograph a finished piece tomorrow and now I am starting to anxiously wonder if I will have my sculpture even loosely done.
Time for a smoothie....
The hands are such a key part of this piece. They need to breath with life and emotion. I want them to press into the belly. To feel as if they are supporting and caressing. I might have left them alone. They were OK. But I don't want OK. I want the full potential. I know that I can do better. I have to be patient and protect my vision. I have to be calm and steady. I don't have room for frustration. This piece is about the growing bond between mother and baby. Soft yet strong. It is about love, pride and protection. It is not about a deadline or a photo shoot or the future viewers. It is only about a mother and her baby.
