This blog chronicles the construction of, a Very Big Head (VBH), during the summer of 2010. The designation VBH comes from my father, who is also the model. The VBH is sculpted out of chicken wire, burlap, plaster, and clay. The ultimate goal is to make a flexible piece mold of the VBH, cast the sections in resin, transport the sections from California back to Massachusetts and re-assemble them there for a Division III show.

New Project. . . The VBF
I'm building an armature for a new and final project that is a large face. I am using a combination of chicken, dow board, spray foam, burlap, and plaster as I learn to do from the VBH armature. I will cast it with a piece mold and then display in vertical sections. I am modeling for myself for this piece, so it will be a kind of self portrait. Since it is similar to the VBH that started this body of work I have decided to call it the Very Big Face or VBF. This will be the last large project I build before my Div III show in December.
