Yukiko in cast iron, lifesize, with Japanese lacquers and rust. I like Buddhist sculpture very much, but they are always male, or neuter. I make mine as women, which seems fair enough to me. I have made quite a few in bronze and wood, often using Yukiko as a model. This is the only one in cast iron. She is so delicate and refined; the contrast with the material - rough and rusted iron - is interesting to me.
