The original sculpture is hand sculpted by the artist (either first modelled in clay and refined in plaster, or directly carved in plaster).

Finished sculptures (Variations and Fragments) are hand cast by the artist in a proprietary blends of cement, pigments and a variety of other materials. Textures and colours are layered in an intentional, painterly manner. Finishing includes treatments such as patinas, stains, as well as a more aggressive techniques such as additional carving, intentional erosion and repair, resulting in a number of unique variations.
