Some Days Your Hands Are Tied!

Does life imitate art... or art imitate life?  While I was completing this sculpture of a reclining woman today I felt the need to express an emotion of the moment- I chopped off her hands to express the futileness of something that recently happened in my life that I have absolutely no control over.

It should dry in a few weeks and then get fired. When that's  done I select the patina. Better hope Im having a good day when I do the final patina or she might be all black!  Its fun being able to express yourself in art- cheaper than therapy!
