The basis for building the sculpture is the arrangement of the main body and this is what I focus on the most. Every time I start sculpting a head chimpanzee or gorilla firstly, I am thinking about an idea and emotions I want to express in the sculpture. For me the detail is less important and plays a main role at a later stage.
In my daily work I use basic materials like Monster Clay, Super Sculpy, NSP Chavant or plasticine. Most of the tools I work with are self-made.
