Description

This is the only completed project I made this semester I feel good enough about to post up here. The message is pretty simple. Hope and Vitality.

Even during the worst times, when either stress or physical problems prevented me from eating much, I could always stomach apples. So they were, at times, the only real 'fuel' I had. Simple enough. Apples powering the gears of a machine.

This is my first bronze piece as well! It was first sculpted in wax, then cut into six pieces, cast in bronze via the lost-wax method, then chiseled out of the plaster. Then I sand-blasted it, TIG-welded it together, smoothed it out with a die grinder and dipped it in a sulfur bath for the "antique bronze" look.
