I really began to sell once I had a piece in a group show at Canada Gallery in 2014.
That sold, my Rachel Carson piece [ “Rachel Carson and Eagles” (2013)].
You would see the busts of important men all the time, and I decided that [the ecologist] Rachel Carson needed to have one, too.
If it’s a figure, I start with a base and work my way up, then I add to it as I go along.
Part of the evolution of it is not me but the piece itself adjusting to what it wants to be.
