Challenge of the Human Face

Human facial features are complex. Attempting to make the head of a famous or recognizable person is a challenge. When a coworker approached me to make a gift for her spouse who is a philosophy professor I was initially daunted. Socrates head? I freaked out, but accepted the challenge. I used a host of images, including in profile. It is a stainless steel armature, covered with silver colored copper wire and stands about 16 inches tall.
