‘Roan’ is made from Super Sculpey - which is an oven-bake polymer clay that carries translucent properties.
The first step is to make an armature from aluminum wire, which maps out the proportions, pose and adds stability to the sculpt.
I have such a passion for horses that stems from childhood. They represent freedom, agility, power and hold such a sentient presence with their healing vibration. Connecting to their energy was the intention with this sculpt, and as a gentle reminder of the freedom we carry within ourselves.
This piece came with so much learning experience as I had not worked with this material before and was new to all the techniques.
