You may have seen this photo a few weeks ago. I have finished them! So now I shall reveal and explain the inspirations for these Buddhas. First is fasting Buddha, one of my favorites, also one of the only figure with Buddha as man versus an awakened being. This photo is from my trip to the MET.
Next, this is one of my favorite Buddhas I saw while traveling and also the one that inspired this project.
The Buddha I made is obviously based off of this one I saw in Japan. He ended up looking kind of like my advisor so I have named him Sleepy Meditating Professor Huntington Buddha. He is sleepy because his head slumped a little bit in the hotter glaze firing.
Buddha under the Bodhi Tree
(A candle can also fit inside the tree, lighting the Buddha's eyes and holes in the tree, the arrangement of the branches are based on my hair.)

ReplyDeleteSo beautiful and they all hang together as a collection. I can't choose a favorite; I kept changing my mind each time I saw a new one.
Can't wait to see what you do next!
