Artist Deanna Clayton creates her figurative works, such as Scarred, by first modeling the form from clay, then kiln casting the work in glass using the pate-de-verre technique. The figure’s wrap, created through the process of electroplating copper to the final bust, has the effect of not only neutralizing the subject’s gender, but also enhancing its aesthetic presence.
