Bob Hill's Sculpture

Dancers naturally demonstrate rhythm and flow. The dancing figures on the left and right are terracotta, while the dancer in the middle has been cast in bronze.

Bronze casting is a complex multi-stage process. As a simplified description, it involves building  molds from an original piece, creating a wax replica, followed by building another set of molds, and finally melting the wax out of the mold with molten bronze to produce the replica. 

Figure studies show the curves and flow of the human body. The seated figure on the right is cast in bronze, but unlike the bronze dancer above, it has a vertigris patina. The patina is achieved by applying various chemical treatments to the bronze metal.

Flow can also be expressed in abstract and other forms.
