I have started working on where I want to situate certain sculptural pieces,  shooting  them in what I see as their natural environment. Undine - I have always wanted to shoot at a sea/shore location. I finally managed to get the piece into the right light and location.

The Undine in situ shoot came about from my recollection of why I am fascinated by the forms of the dolphin skull. As a teen back in the mid 80's friends at my local beach found a Bottle nosed Dolphin skeleton after heavy storms washed away some large sandbanks. They managed to collect most of the skeleton and put her back together. I have always assumed the skeleton was a "her" a romantic association of some sort of lost mermaid - hence what I see as Undines re-creation with this piece.  Shooting  Undine  with the dawns sun rising from behind, allows light to pass through ( hence my original installations having the LED lights within), but with a warmer more natural quality.

I haven't entirely abandoned my digital studies as outlined below, but  have  decided to be a  little more realistic and I have  just started with Scott Eatons' anatomy classes. I will be working through the studying/drawing Human Anatomy on-line classes, which will be  completed  over the next eight weeks.
