Rodin's Thinker

Sculptures by JMikk

Height: 21 inches

I started by work in human forms with my own design from mental images of the “expression” combined with some rudimentary art books and self-inspection in the mirror.  In order to gain further experience with human forms I was also inspired by the work of August Rodin.  “Rodin’s Thinker” is a wall-hanging inspired by a photograph of his famous sculpture.  I tried to substitute the grain pattern for the muscle texture so well sculpted by Rodin rather than to try to carve such detailed features in the wood.
