The Pantograph
I am absolutely loving doing my enlargment using the pantograph. The first day and a half was a bit frustrating as it takes a while to set everything up and get the armature sorted, but I started putting on the clay yesterday afternoon and it is so absorbing.
Its fascinating enlarging and reproducing the forms of my maquette and as it is a process of really looking and understanding, and with the help of the pantograph it can be a really faithful reproduction.
I’m also enjoying working loosely in clay, after the precision of the wax, and I’m excited about the piece and how it is developing.
I have my lunch in front of me and a toddler trying to climb on my knee, so I’ll have to write more later, however as i’m out tonight I just wanted to capture the moment and the feelings I’m having…
