What are Some Key Aspects to Making the Sculpture Look Real?
By conquering distance and lighting. Sculptures available for public viewing are often accompanied by features such as lighting, props, background, and a particular atmosphere to enhance the realism of the sculpture, which often has no model for comparison. Having completed a great deal of work for museums across Thailand, I am aware that most museums require specific lighting and forbid guests to take pictures or view the sculptures too closely. Oftentimes the flash of the camera reveal imperfections in the sculptures color. Alternatively, my aim is to allow everyone to view my sculptures at any distance, any location, and during any time of day, with the freedom to take photographs with or without the flash. The greatest compliment I receive is when people walk away from my work feeling only half-convinced that the sculpture isnt real.
