Snapping turtle sculpture in Ithaca, NY State, by Bo Atkinson, ( 2005 photo, before planting). This is my biggest, completed concrete sculpture measuring 60ft or 20 meters in length. The kids named her Gaia. I sculpt in all sizes with both thick and thin walled as well as solid concrete.
Above photo: Experimentation with a non linear and translucent roofing system, along with concrete sculpture production job in progressPicture above, was taken inthe 1990's before the arches were filled with concrete. My "molding boat" (to right), allows me to freeform patterns in the dirt, fill with concrete and then cover for a damp cure, (important for concrete).Here is a longish article which describes my sand casting method..."Earth Molded Concrete: Artisan Secrets" I started concrete sculpting and ferrocement building in the 1970's.
