I never sculpt for myself, almost ever. Even this, I feel I am creating for Them, and not for me.
I started making a devotional icon for Set before my RPD, and while I still feel that it is a good form, it’s not the one I needed to make for myself. He and Amun-ra are separate, but together in much of my life. So while this sketch is the start concept for Set, Amun-ra will sit behind him when it is all said and done. I don’t always do a concept sketch first, but sometimes it helps to get the form out of my head before starting a project.
Set was the first Name that I ever worked with. I’d been Agnostic for many years and Catholic before that, so to acknowledge Set was a different experience for me. His intensity, and firmness was a hard push that I hadn’t known I needed at the time, but now have come to understand. He’s been patient with me in a way that has been reassuring, and even though I step away at times, when I come back He’s always there.
