- David Kassan - Portrait Painting
This was my first 3D sculpture in clay, produced in 2006 in a Jacob Dobson four day workshop through the art center. The highlight for the 2014 McKinney fellowship was the opportunity to cast the figure in bronze. I learned mold making, then poured the bronze, and did the chasing and applied the patina at the Indianapolis Art Center.
