November 2010,
I was able to be instrumental in completing a lifesize bronze sculpture for a long time client of Century Bronze LLC Alice Ann Ochs. Alice Ann provided an eighteen inch maquette of a Jesus figure which was comissioned to be enlarged to a lifesize bronze by the First Methodist Church of Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Jim and I, husband and wife team who have owned/operated Century Bronze for twenty-one years together scaled up the bronze to lifesize styrofoam armature. I then completed the clay modeling and detailing of the face, robe and hands to mold ready. The image was then taken through the five step process to a completed bronze monument and installed on November 23, 2010. It was an exciting opportunity for me to push my boundaries with a lifesize representation of the spiritual/ human form of Jesus Christ from the initial eyes of Alice Ann Ochs through my hands.
