Abstract Human Sculpture

This abstract sculpture, cast in plaster, loosely mimics the human form in shape and recreates muscular tissue as texture.

A plaster block was poured and initial carving took place by hand with larger chunks being removed by saw. Later refinements to the shape were made with a Dremel tool. Texture was added to the legs by scraping with a screw tip.
