SPLICED LIFE /
CREATIVE PROFILE / JASON FREENY
SM: You have a great
understanding of anatomy and the
internal organs, was it something
you actively set out to learn?
JF: No artist knows everything
about everything. Being resourceful
in research becomes part of the
process when creating. I’ve always
been a big fan of finding out how
things work on the insides, anatomy
included. All of my knowledge of
anatomy comes from research, no
schooling involved.
SM: Your anatomy is extremely
detailed and perfectly sculpted in
your pieces. What’s the
hardest part about doing
anatomy for pieces such as Super
Mario or the Balloon animal?
JF: Being patient and not rushing...
My hands want to just keep sculpting
but the clay I use only allows me to
do a small portion of sculpting before
it needs time to harden. I've taught
myself to step away when needed.
