Hart begins the process of creating a sculpture cast in clear acrylic resin, or Lucite, the same way that he would begin a work in bronze or stone: by sculpting it in clay, often working from a live model. The conceptual phase takes many months. The artist works through ideas with numerous clay sketches before he proceeds to create a full-size model in clay. |

I see the wall as a kind
of ocean, a sea of sacrifice that is overwhelming and nearly
incomprehensible in its sweep of names. I place these figures upon the
shore of that sea, gazing upon it, standing vigil before it, reflecting
the human face of it, the human heart.
