After years of working
successfully with traditional
sculpting techniques and
representational subjects,
James Siebert created a
multi-step process to create
these sculptures in resin.
The shape is first carved
in clay, which is then given
a silicone mold. From this
mold, an aluminum master
sculpture is cast. This
allows irregularities to
be sanded smooth and polished.
After this refinement, a
second mold with a fiberglass
jacket is set to receive
the resin material. The
final buffing and sanding
process extends over several
days as the resin hardens
and sets.
The natural luminescence
of the resin material gives
the sculptures their unique
beauty and softness, which
complements the gently flowing
lines of their designs.
Each edition is signed and
numbered by the artist.
