The Making of Chris - a Large Scale Silicone Portrait Sculpture

  • In 2007 I created this hyperreal silicone portrait sculpture, based on my friend, Chris. It wasn’t really an exercise in creating an exacting portrait likeness, but rather in capturing an intensity of character in the sculpture. To this day, it is still one of my favourite works.
    Two editions of this work were created, both now residing in private collections.
    In addition to the silicone portraits, two metallic Fragment editions were also created.

    This, THIS is exactly what I wanted to see! I love the works that you have created and have always been curious HOW they are done. You succeed in capturing the character of the subjects that you produce. Truly incredible work. Very informative and inspiring. Keep them coming! Will you also be showing these long form videos of Jackie's works as well? I love her sculptures too!

      Thank you, and I'm very glad to hear this means so much to you. There's so much more coming so please keep checking back. To answer your question about Jackie's works, she is working on her own new channel and hopefully you'll see something from that in the not too distant future.

      Scaling up is just math really, and measurement. Many ways to do it, old school using calipers, or enlarging using modern technology like scanning and cnc
