Mm Head

There is a long tradition of sculpting a character as a head alone, running from Roman portrait busts to the oversized prop heads that sit in film studio foyers. This piece sits in that line: a single sculpted head, made to be met straight on and to hold a shelf by itself. Working in that format means everything depends on the face. There is no pose to read, no costume and no weapon doing the storytelling, only the set of the jaw, the shape of the brow and an expression caught at one particular moment. That is exactly why collectors like the form, and why painters find it such a satisfying surface to work across. It suits a desk, a bookcase or a glass cabinet standing among other fan-art figures, and it downloads as a single sculpt rather than an assembly.
