The Head of Odysseus

Who knew the ancient Greek hero, the ancient Greek scoundrel, would be so bald, so happy, so old? And yet, here he is: the aged, ancient Homeric figure.

Sculpture mix; unglazed as yet. My first head, formed in 2001 or so. I worked on the piece for a whole summer, not sure how to proceed or how to stop. Trisha K., my art teacher, was wonderfully supportive.
