title: Practical sculptural training for the plastic surgeon.
abstract: For the past 25 years I have been working as a portrait sculptor and educator, developing a scientific approach and protocol to train the eye to see accurately and fully understand the complexity of 3-D form. The methods developed over this period, aim to unravel the visual complexity of the human head and to close the gap between the forms that are seen and that which the hand can re-create. The method has been put to test in teaching programmes with surgeons, artists and non-artists.
