Circuitous by Richard Arfsten
There are many roads to Rome. The important thing is to get to your destination. If you cannot use a direct route then the important thing is not to give up but to try some other way over and over until you get there. Success is largely perspiration with a little bit of inspiration.
When you do not have a map you have to have a belief that you can find your way. This is a major life lesson for me. I once had a dog, Peanut, he was a Beagle with a great nose. I used to use a tennis racket to hit a tennis ball he would hunt and retrieve. He got so he would start to hunt before I would hit the ball so I would hit the ball in the other direction. This would give him big trouble so he would come back and I would tell him to fetch. He would start in a small circle and make bigger and bigger circles until he found the ball. Life lesson. Somewhere along you have to have enough success that you can believe in your life experience to keep on plugging away. The circuitous route is many times the only way to find your solution.
A university education gives you the confidence to plug on when all looks dim. This might be a nice logo sculpture for a university.
This maquette is available for enlargement as are all the others in my maquette library. Please talk to me about enlargement as well as the additional fee.
The major value in these pieces is the maquette aspect. The maquette is a three-dimensional model or blueprint that works to show that the design is accurate and can be built larger. A metal fabricator measures off of it to make the patterns to build from, just like a talor uses your measurements to make your clothes. When presenting ideas to a client for consideration most sculptors submit a concept drawing on a piece of paper. A maquette is the actual sculpture in miniature. When you lift it up to view at eye level it will depict the sculpture exactly as it will be seen in real life as if you were walking up to it.
