“Metamorphosis”
Mag was born out of a bucket when I was just starting to sculpt.
At the end of a posing session, I wasn’t satisfied.
I didn’t like either her arms or her head.
I decided to cut off everything.
I twisted what remained of the torso and threw it in a bucket.
It was a friend who convinced me to take it out:
“Look, you should finish it…”
I took this little clay sculpture out of the bucket.
I put it on a shelf.
Years went by.
Until the day I found it again, sitting right where I had left it.
Two months later she had grown, transformed into a golden bronze sculpture of 3,60 ft by 4,26 ft.
