Mary,
Woman of the Eucharist
created by Sr. Cor Immaculatum
Heffernan, IHM
 |
Sr. Cor Immaculatum Heffernan
is the creator and sculptor of Mary, Woman of the Eucharist,
which will stand in the lobby at the entrance to Our Lady
of Peace Residence.
|
Sr. Cor explains the process by which a bronze
sculpture is created.
Above is the maquette of Mary, Woman of the
Eucharist: size 30 inches tall. From the maquette an enlarged
clay image is made using a pentagraph (shown in the photo above).
Next, a rubber mold is made and a duplicate
of this is made in wax. The wax must be corrected before making
the ceramic shell in which molten bronze (lost wax method) is
poured. Then the patina is applied and the entire sculpture finished
and waxed.
