Beth Cavener Stichter is an amazing artist who is known for her large scale sculptures that capture the human psyche in animal form. Over the course of 3 days, Beth taught a workshop at the University of Hawaii at Manoa to teach her process from start to finish. She covered just about everything through thorough presentations and demonstrations. It was a great experience that I was lucky enough to participate in for free ^o^.
One of the demos was for creating eyes. Everyone was required to participate and at the end we put all the eyes on the table for a picture. It's interesting how different each eye is. That's Beth up there, posing for the cameras :D.
Here, Beth demonstrates how she hollows out the sculpture. This part was really something. When I first saw her work, I had no idea just how large they were and was awed when she said that she hollowed them out to just fractions of an inch.
This is my pudgy project! The smaller piece in front is the mockette for the overall design. I suppose its some sort of rodent, but many people have said it looks like Yoda i_i . Fat Yoda indeed.
