Progression of a monument

face in progress

I get a huge amount of interest in my processes.  People think it’s hysterical that I begin statues out of insulating foam!  But, the truth is, I had a major mishap once when a monument I was working on had an internal welded support break, causing it to topple over onto me.  I almost had to go to the emergency room after getting crushed by the weight.  So I formulated new methods that would make the statue both easier to maneuver and also safer to work alone into the wee hours of the night if the spirit moves me!
