Bronze is a magical material to work with, much more forgiven than Porcelain because you are guaranteed with some useable resault if all preparation are good.

​

Like my work with porcelain it is based on the theme My Heritage. 

My research  into the Scandinavian Viking era took me on a journey back in time, to the times of my forefathers the Scandinavian Vikings. It led me to the woodcuts dated from the year 750 - 1200 that I used as a theme for my bronze work.

 

This project From beginning to end, it took over 2 weeks to create the four art works, and the casting alone took over 4 hours.

​

There are many steps involved in the process. It started with a 3D scan of my porcelain pillar which was then 3D printed as a plastic pillar. The plastic pillar forms the basis for a mould from which a wax replica of the pillar was produced. The wax pillar was then used to make the final casting mould in which the actual bronze pillar was cast.
