What is it about sculpting that makes the last bit so hard ? I have been trying to analyse it .
When you start a piece, the vision of what could be drives you forward , comunicating it's potential is difficult and the client needs to have trust . The work begins to appear , evolving , seemingly making it's own journey, taking you with it .
Nearing the end , the vision seems to get in the way ! Sometimes blinding the artist to it's true value , similar to a sort of dismorphia , either under or overvaluing it's properties . So I am now in this state , trying to finish the full size figure , aware that the over observation has rendered me temporally blind to it's values ,is the nose too wide ? Ears too flat or eyes to small? like a particularly lovely ladies obsession with the size of her butt can eclipse her gorgeous curves !
