Bronze Statue (65lbs)Created Spring 2009
From passion, my sister & I were created. Through blood, sweat, laughter, love, and tears she molded us throughout the years. We are her greatest masterpiece. This piece was created to thank my mother for all that she has instilled in me. Her Filipino culture and my father’s American beliefs created two new generations to follow in their footsteps. Although both my parents partook in my upbringing, my mother is my hero.
This bronze casting of my body immortalizes the result of all her hard work.
Thank you Mom!
This piece was created in my casting class. I made a casting of my body and poured wax in it to create a positive. Then, I placed the wax mold in plaster and heated the plaster mold to melt and pout out the wax. Then, I poured molten bronze in the plaster mold to create this piece.
It was really time consuming, but it was so much fun!
This piece was entered in an art exhibition & it won 3rd place!
YAY!!
