Overview
Designed & Sculpted an Officer in Dress Uniform in Fallen Hero Pose. Cast bronze with hot chemical patina and polychrome color. Modeled in clay by Art Design Group Artisans and produced at our facilities by ART Research Enterprises, INC
Goals
As I sculpt the clay originals, many thoughts come to mind concerning the fallen Officers, their fellow officers, families, and friends. This combined with the desire to sculpt a memorial that expresses strength and compassion; develops into proven quality memorial spaces for the public and quiet reflection.
Process
Artist Becky Ault designed and sculpted a traditional clay sculpture of the Officer. Once the sculpting was completed she collaborated with ART Research Enterprises, Inc. to take the clay from Mold to Bronze Casting with a traditional patina and polychrome finish. She also collaborated with the Ft Pierce Police Department for the installation of the sculpture at the Memorial site.
