"Kinnick enlarged!"

The 4' free standing model of Nile Kinnick was approved in March and is in the process of being enlarged. I stopped by (Campbell plaster and Iron) last week to check on the progress. The photo taken above will tell you everything you need to know about how that is going. The process involves taking my model and setting it up on a panagraph. Glenn (owner of the foundry) would than weld a steel frame which might resemble a skeleton of the figure he is enlarging, than use wood lathing to bulk up the frame and finally match points from the model with the enlargement and add clay. (note "x's" on enlargement). I will be taking delivery of the enlargement (lower half)in the coming days soon to be followed by the upper section. The complete sculpture will stand 12'. Regards LJN

"Integrity, honesty, responsibility, compassion, love, and competence - all flow easily from people whose self-esteem is high. We feel that we matter, that the world is a better place because we are here. We have faith in our own competence. We are able to ask others for help, yet we believe we can make our own decisions and are, in the end, our own best resources. Appreciating our own worth, we are ready to see and respect the worth of others. We radiate trust and hope. We don't have rules against anything we feel. We can choose. Our intelligence directs our actions. We accept all of ourselves as human." - Virginia Satire
