Phase one: The beginning of the monument...designing the armature construction
It took about 8 hours to draw this sketch. It isn't just a simple drawing. It is the fundamental beginning of the monument. It is a construction sketch of the armature which is the support for the clay sculpturing.
The armature is made of re bar and metal pipe. I will weld it together in the foundry studio in a little building outside of my house in Tetonia Idaho.
Watch for phase two....The welding! Beginning this project is a worthy project because the end result will be known world wide. Dave is coming to life! I am happy to be finally begin this project!
