The Miles Figure for the Field of FIgures

Working from my subject Miles, I created this figure, The Miles Figure, which will be made in bronze and disbursed into the existing Field of Figures sculptures.  This is where the project grows interesting.  I start trading new figures for old ones miles figure final.pngwith collectors.  Eventually there will be 32 Field of Figure sculptures, and each sculpture will have 32 unique figures in it.  Each new collector sponsors the next figure, which is then distributed into all of the other sculptures.  It’s like a chess game with my collectors.  It’s just too much fun, the payoff for a well conceived plot to birth some original figurative sculpture.  Like many good things, this project has taken on a life of it’s own.

This Field of Figures will be mounted to the wall with plexi around it, lit from underneath.  I’m working on that this month.
