Thank you for sharing! I have been very curious how you planned to take on your in touch project. It is so large scale! Especially when you felt everything so densely. Looking forward to watching the project unfold!

Glad you like it! I think this is a good way to communicate my process...as I figure it out.

from one sculptor to another...u are an absolutely amazing artist...the shapes u create with wool are blunt stunning ..my question...do u use any special styrofoam for shaping?i was thinking of using it to make diffrent shapes ,but im affraid it will fly everywhere and break unevenly.if there is any tutorial on shapeing styrofoam i would really be greatfull...ty in advance for any tip

natasha res , thanks for your kind words, and funny you should ask about foam carving- I'm going to do a short video on that, too. Spoiler: I'm using hot wire tools from Foam Factory, and any sanding I do in a contained area. That one will be a few weeks out though.
