Lilstreet Interview – Sean Clute
Within my projects, I push myself to expand my reaches of the human form. When I make my figures, I look at the diverse range the world offers and reflect that in my work. Within that comprehension, I am able to project the layers of their innermost self. I use subtle indifferences to the pose, the face, and the clothes to reinforce a response or to push the demeanor in a unique direction. By understanding the character’s position, physically and mentally, the pose can drape a mood onto the piece and provokes a conversation with the figure
