Portfolio Example & Artist Statement
Pahponee Pahponee

My sculpture process is known as the Lost Wax Casting method of bronze making. This process begins with me designing and hand creating my original clay vessel for the prototype. An impression is made of my clay vessel in order to cast a limited edition in the material of bronze. Each of my newly formed bronze vessels are completed with a hand painted Patina, then signed and numbered. Each design and bronze sculpture that I create is inspired by my tribal heritage from the Northeastern Great Lakes. Both the historic and present day traditions and life ways are the influence throughout each of my designs and are the basis for the back story for each bronze vessel.
