Bronze casting Busts: “Busts exist to recognize the value of that person or their contribution to society. It’s a way of making their contribution more permanent, the same way as a painting is done for a CEO of a company because making art is a labor of love. So the love that you feel or the understanding of the person should actually come across in the work. I think your father has a subconscious idea of who he is and it’s not false modesty. He is actually quite confident in himself which is a very nice thing, you know. Because some of us are told not to stand tall but to rather be smaller than we are and it’s nice to know that not everyone feels that. And it’s not false confidence, you know, because what he’s done he has done on his own. He is a self made man”-
