Torso

The "Maniken"s we are using to create clay muscles are pretty awesome. However, it's a new medium for me. It is so great to have to learn how to work with my own muscles that have been trained to function certain ways-for me it's to learn how to go from drawing to molding clay. The muscles in a humans hands are so beautiful. Under the skin, there are so many delicate muscles and tendons all connecting and weaving in order to allow the hands to work for their purposes.
Currently we are building muscle for the torso and seeing where everyone has muscles underneath fat and curves of skin. It is interesting to be able to locate the sternum on everyone, but underneath that point is is different for each person.
