J.S. Anderson draws inspiration from his family history of artistry, devoting his career to exploring the wonderful possibilities offered by polymer clay. Working with Meili W., he diligently forms the clay by hand into tubes that feature colorful and imaginative designs. Cross sections are cut from these tubes and carefully applied around the body of this sculpture of an iguana. The lizard crouches in a watchful posture, elaborated with intricate motifs that depict flowers and the image of a butterfly on its neck. J.S. Anderson has worked for 25 years to perfect this <i>millefiori</i>-style technique, which has allowed him to create intricate and amazing designs on his sculptures. Each pattern on this sculpture is diligently designed by the artisans through a time-consuming process to ensure perfection.
