Title: Mann
Artist Comments: This is a piece I worked on with artist Chris Coleman. I helped him with the general design of the figure and sculpting the head. He is fully articulated and amazingly crafted. Chris hoped at some point to use him in a stop-motion animation, but unfortunately his joints are much too loose. I sculpted his head from Cernit polymer clay, beginning first with a papier maché "skull." His eyes are small light bulbs. Though it's hard to see in the picture, his left "ear" is a small arm that reaches up and rests its hand on the side of his head. I tried to give him an expression that could seem very different depending on what angle or lighting you put him in, which turned out very well.
