"The Scream" is a self portrait that I started in 1987 during the time I was making the decision to change my career from city planning to sculpting.  It captures the time of realization that I had the talents necessary to succeed in my new career.  It uses the first technique I employed to create forms by alternating layers that depict the form with recessed layers.  This was done because of my fascination with lamination and I wanted to emphasize the technique.  The work is created from medium density fiberboard.
