Woman I and Woman 1.3D WIP
Photo of MoMA’s Giclee print DeKooning’s 2D (flat flat flat – but not really) painting named Woman I (52nd version on its original canvas).
Alongside is my 3D sculpture WIP, at about the same scale as the original painting, color matching to those in MoMA’s Giclee print.

Survivor ~ Woodsculpture WIP
A character I saw one morning on Telegraph Avenue (Oakland, California) inspired The Survivor .

I don’t remember his face, so I am carving five interchangeable masks to fit on the torso.
His arms hold four masks as he tries on each to choose the right one to get through the morning.
I began thinking about The Survivor torso a long time ago.
It’s carved out of a used beam I found in the back yard of Fairfax Lumber company.
I took it home in my jeep and let it dry in my garage for several months before I started work.
The picture at left shows what The Survivor #Woodsculpture looked like recently.
Here is what the first cut looked like: http://neibert.com/portfolio/wip-waiting-at-the-workshop-door/
