Pamela Mummy

I have always been infatuated with the human face.  I often think that I will someday run out of fascinating people to sculpt, but it hasn’t happened yet.  We are all so diverse and intriguing, and we cannot resist the attraction of our own species, whether beautiful or grotesque.  We strive to be unique and we strive to fit in…we are complicated.

When the economy started to change I started working on a series "Fight or Flight".  I saw people making the decision to do one or the other.  Sometimes it's hard to know which to do.  Often I will discuss "fight or flight" with my models, not in regard to the economy, but to their life choices.  Sometimes that helps me decide whether to add wings or armor...and sometimes the armor is added just because the person needs protecting.
