Brilliant!

I was absolutely horrified when you cut the arms off, I was like "What on earth are you doing!?!"

[sisypha]

@TheBlackParadeHasYou Why do you say "I was like" instead of "I was wondering why"..or " I couldn't imagine why..." what does "like " mean please....I'm here in Europe...we do not say "Like" so often...it means nothing. Glad you liked the séance....like.

Fantastic is all I can say! Missing is useful info as to the materials you are using and time frame need to try doing at home or is this one of those things normal people just shouldn't try at home haha. I inquire because I would like to give a a go at it but one a much smaller level. If there is another link that is helpful I would be ever grateful. Once again thanks for sharing. Lisa

@countrycoon Dear Lisa, many thanks for your kind words and compliments. Take a carefull look at other comments on this video and you'll find more information on materials used. The wire structure is copper electric cable 12mm thick, hung on steel tube scafolding to give maximum freedom of mouvement around the sculpture, which is made of ordinary clay. How long does it take? As Picaso said - sometimes only 5 mins. - but with 25 years experience behind you!

Where can I see more of your work on line? Your pieces are great, I love the form and movement in them. Thank you for sharing your time and talent in your videos. Even though limited in time, I've learned a lot that will help me. Waiting for Part 2. Again, Thanks

@KATADB Thank you for the compliment - I'm happy to have been of interest for you. "Part 2" is already online - as are others, and you may like to try "hans marks-paris" on google.

@sisypha Here is Australia we use "like" as another term for "says", sorry I should have said says instead, my bad haha I'm just so used to saying it.

I`ve seen this video a hundred of times. It`s very inspiring! Do you have a website? I`d like to see more works of yours. Congratulations!

Caro Giancarlo, I use normal clay for céramics or poterie, but I don't give it the time to dry, so it doesn't crack from shrinking. As you can see in the video the sculpture is wrapped in plastic bags all the time = no shrinkage = no cracks. Also I try to work as fast as possible. The talc stops clay from sticking to clay!

I would like to know what kind of clay you are using and why it isn't cracking on the wore armature. Also what function does the talc perform? Thanks.
