The process of transforming an artistic vision into a bronze sculpture is one of continual refinement, as the artist navigates varied materials at each stage to develop their work before achieving permanence in bronze. Starting in malleable clay or foam, proceeding through molds and wax where concepts can be closely evaluated and altered, and culminating in a casting where artistry and science combine to imbue the enduring bronze with character. This journey allows sculptors to carefully hone their creations into treasures crafted to withstand the test of time and potentially inspire audiences for generations to come.
