Type 3 Bullet

2011

modelled in clay, cast in acrylic and concrete, polished by hand

20x280x25cm
 

Inspired by the Japanese Bullet trains, this is the most train-like sculpture from the Turbocharged series. It’s bullet-shape nose, cockpit and streamlined cut-outs are the core of it’s remarkable appearance.

Type 3 Bullet celebrates the fast lane on the conceptual side, but created in clay and hand-polished, it uses a slow-pace finishing technique to provide an unusual stress between content and elaboration.
