Kountzyro Shows off his Polystyrene Tikis - Tiki Carving

Some older pieces and works in progress. Thanks for your appreciation of my personal stylization. I suppose my tikis look the way they do because of the raw materials I use. A block of foam has a very different potential from a log so when I seek to release the tiki form from its raw material I am most likely trying to find inspiration in my natural relationship to the material's strengths and weaknesses. My mantra is that the block of foam wants to be a tiki and I am merely there to assist in the birthing process. :lol:
