Project History

Historical Context

Hailey represents a study in human grace and poise, capturing a moment of quiet elegance that speaks to timeless beauty and artistic sensitivity.

The Artistic Challenge

The challenge was to capture the subtle qualities of personality and presence, creating a portrait that transcends mere likeness to convey character and spirit.

Casting Process

Detailed modeling (S1) focused on capturing natural expression and posture. Lost-wax casting (S3) preserved the delicate features and subtle textures that bring the sculpture to life.

Legacy and Impact

The patina application (S4) used warm tones that complement the subject’s natural beauty. This piece exemplifies the foundry’s expertise in figurative portraiture.
