Icarus - The unfinished clay model

Icarus - The unfinished clay model, originally uploaded by MichelAngelo▲.

That's me, in 1997, working on Icarus. But my time ran out and I didn't find the support to finish the piece.

hola miguelangelo me quede impresionado con tu trabajo. Es muy bueno el detalle en tus gigantografias. Pero veo en este trabajo que dejas expuestos unos tornillos sobre la arcilla. Cuando le haces en negativo no los sacas?
If you wont, I will ask you in inglish in other moment?

Hi PanicoWorkshop
I prefer to chat in english because I'm here to make myself known, specially among americans (they are my main public).
This work was not to intended to become a sculpture. The wood structure was developed to allow me a deep search on the geometric qualities of my little plaster model of Icarus.
See the set:

And Icarus was created to establish a direct aesthetic dialog with the Rebel Slave. I was in a search for a very particular anatomic detail that would a be proof of my identity. Did you get my point?
See the set:

And I did it. The proof was found.
Next year I will finish the translation of a summarized version of my documentary film Icarus, Contemplation & Dream.
