Anatomical fragment

Today I decided to describe one of my favorite works called the Anatomical Fragment. It took me
three days to finish this work and I confess that the level of difficulty was medium for me. This is
also because I enjoy spending time in the workshop. It`s like the time stops and I forget about
everything. It`s not work if it`s passion.
I will start by listing the steps that were necessary in order to finish my project.
First, we were given a model to start from and our task was to create this model on a double
scale.
Then we had to work out all the details in super dimension which was not very easy to do so.
I started with the base, then shaped the clay and then went into the details using the clay
molder and compass. After that we cast it in plaster and waited for it to dry for about two days.
Finishing the details followed and in the future I want to give it an aged look.

It is one of my favorite pieces because of the minimalist style of the work. Although it doesn't
have a lot of details it manages to convey a lot. This is also due to the size that stands out.
The fact that we have only the nose and mouth in the foreground, this leaves it to the
imagination of the viewer to complete the face. You can go with your mind everywhere.
I think the quote that could best describe the work here is ~Less is more~.
