ANDRÉ PUBLIC SCULPTURES

Due to safety considerations and also to make the work more accessible for various teams to work on simultaneously, we decided to build & sculpt the figure in two main sections each just over 4 meters tall. The head and hands were fitted to check proportion etc, then removed and sculpted seperately. First SCS welded the armature and mounted that to a secured wooden platform. This was then clad with the foam blocks. We then sculpted the complete surface and when we were satisfied, we assembled the complete sculpture vertically to check the over-all visual balance and alignment of sections. Once again, due to the time constraint, we started with the mouldmaking process whilst busy sculpting other sections.
