Lena

Lena was my father's mother. He had asked me to do a bust of her. I was still in college. I had a photographer friend take pictures for me. The head of Cal Poly's Art Department had done some amazing busts. He gave me a few tips on working with clay. This bust stands 9 inches tall and is made of gray clay.

Shortly after my father died, while I was visiting CA, my mother asked me to take it home. I’m sure seeing my Grandmother every day brought back too many unpleasant memories.
