"Self - Portrait in Steel" - 2003
steel with coat of clear polyeurathane
18cm wide x 18 cm deep x 23cm tall from top of neck to peak of profile plate
entire piece including neck pedestal is 33cm tall

the contours for bending are based on head frontal and profile photos
laser-printed, near life size, B&W
the sagittal profile plate is cut to a tracing of the reference profile silhouette

[ the steel chin is over-proportioned - but not by very much
and my real forehead is bigger than the steel one but not by very much
and I do not have robot lips ]

fabricated at The Julie Dermansky Studio ( www.jsdart.com ) - thanks, professor !
