Sculpture Gallery .preview.JPG "The Ancestor") My favourite picture so far, really pleased with the slightly exagerated arm span, was concerned that mignt be odd? Feeling very vulnerable at the moment, were sure thats normal. Too close to be objective, All faults far too obvious too us. Getting ready for a mad weekend to launch upon an unsuspecting world. Love some critique. Never realised we could learn so much in such a short space of time.  Wisdom

Impressive Andy and Michelle. I like how the arms look.They are posed in a respectful manner, that comes from wisdom.Any faults are now brush strokes.You've done a fantastic job and it will finish well.  the ancestor

I think it looks good! I'm
I think it looks good! I'm really eager to see some pictures of if installed on location. That piece is one of those that begs you to get up close and see all the individual pieces that make it up, so this photo that hides all that detail is not my favorite.
When the piece is installed there are going to be comments ranging from "love it" to "an abomination" so you might as well steel yourselves to some criticism. Nobody likes everything and no one piece will please everyone. However, no one is going to see all the warts that you do - believe me. The sheer scale of the thing makes it impossible for anyone not intimately involved in the construction to see any possible flaws or spots that could have been improved.
