This is the Artist’s Proof for a small - max 5 - limited edition of Porsche 935 sculptures that I’m in the process of creating. It is an effort that involves a high degree of obsession combined with creative license over long periods of time. Each piece will be unique as I continue to refine the forms during successive sculptures.
It was created from blocks of jelutong and basswood for the body and wing, hand-turned aluminum for the wheels, hand-turned acrylic for the tires, laminated photo etched wheel centers done from my drawings and hand-turned brass for the nut and axle details. Graphics are applied using automotive vinyl wrap, The finish is a complicated mix of waterborne and solvent-based automotive finishes with a final hand-polished 2K clearcoat.
See the following linked Blog posts for more construction details. Additional posts will be added in subsequent retroactive posts.
