From the images of “Gary” you can see some of the process in this piece. Reference photos of several angles of Gary’s head are shown in the background. It is interesting to see the process work of a sculptor. With reference to many different perspectives of the subject, Maiers creates a strong representation of Gary.
Gary: “First photo at almost 100 pounds, I didn't let the underlayer stiffen up enough and the face is starting to droop. Propped it up with some boards for a couple of days until the clay was stiff enough to continue.” (heidimaiers.com)
