Christy Keeney

Christy Keeney came to LSAD for 2 days to give a talk and demonstration about his abstract figures. Christy had a great interest in peoples features or based on characters that stood out on his travels. Some of his earlier works he concentrated on more social backrounds and random photographs of people in Belfast.

This was taken on our opening day to LSAD in 2010, I only found out when Christy arrived that he had actually made these and of course with me posing beside them ! :)

He gradually evolved his work into more absract figures like this one he demonstrated and made with us.

He had brought his own shape mould to create the shape figure

 He used a heat gun to help speed up the process! and he joined a few coils to form the head

Once the surface was evened out he then began working on the facial features
