I finally got a chance this weekend to start something new. I've been thinking about doing a series of figures that exemplify the heroism of the working class. i have also been interested in doing an installation of figures that form a crowd but are oblivious to each other, and perhaps preoccupied with technological communication to demonstrate the social disconnect of our culture. this particular figure is going to be a mechanic. i plan to have him carrying a tire on his shoulder which will frame his head in a halo.
