After so many years, pieces come very easily, as if my thoughts are transformed through my hands. </div><br /><br /><div>Then, I started "The Kiss."</div><br /><br /><div>The process of creation was totally amazing. I was so excited to be working on this sculpture that I couldn't concentrate on anything else. Every journey, every step to completion was challenging.</div><br /><br /><div>It began with a structural frame. Then, I added piece after piece of steel until the sculpture was formed. After she was complete, I had to grind and weld in layers to create the vision in my mind. For me it is the same process as putting a jigsaw puzzle together. There are almost 300 pieces of hair. Then, to finish the piece, I colored it with heat and clear-coated it.</div><br /><br /><div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6452015806427686558-3817137048998230096?l=jenniferjohnsonsculptures.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jennifer Johnsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12974029855970783456noreply@blogger.com1
