I hope to have legs and feet up on the site this weekend.
Obviously there are a lot of images in these files with genitalia.
And just as obviously to me
not all of these are necessary to the final configuration of this piece.
As I have said earlier "you are seeing the editing process as it evolves".
All of these images will not stay up on the site, either.
All of this is in the process of morphing.
I have spent several hours this morning with the frogs. Some are growing up
while others are laying eggs,
and still others are hatching into tadpoles.
I've not put up images of my frogs yet (though I will when I can)
but these are images I took of a friend's.

Out of a sense of modesty, the model's face will not appear on the website,
but of course will in the sculpture.
This weekend the images are all being assembled into the column of jars.
The first session with the model was now two weeks and five days ago.
At the first session I used the most basic of lights,
50 and 75 watt household bulbs with basic reflectors.
The second session, I photographed her standing beside a ten high column of jars
ten jars high
The segments of the work-in-progress webpage are drawn from this ten high stack of jars.
I never expected that correlation to go much further than a reminder of proportions
Now more metamorhosis…
this
is what it is...
