Together | The Makingbest friend.

Mackenzie started creating “StrongerTogether” just before the covid lockdown of 2020, as a result it took a much longer time than usual to get this piece finished.

The sculpture is completely hand painted to give a unique depth and dimension and is testament to the artist’s ability to create authentic and meaningful work.

Thorpe’s use of resin as a medium adds an ethereal quality to the sculpture, aesthetically Mackenzie wanted a big dominant heart to symbolise the importance of love as a uniting force.

As we continue to navigate post pandemic life, “Stronger Together” is a gentle reminder of the power of love and togetherness and of arts ongoing ability to lift us up.

We are thrilled to share this beautiful and joyous new piece with all Mackenzie collectors and hope everyone loves it as much as we do.

The process of creating a resin sculpture typically involves several steps, including:

Design

Mackenzie creates the concept for the sculpture through sketches.

Armature and sculpting

An armature, which is a framework for the sculpture, is created using wire. This provides a structure for the sculpture and ensures it is stable, clay is then applied to the armature and modelled.

Mold Making

A mold is created from the final model using silicone or other materials.

Resin casting

Resin is mixed with a hardener and then poured into the mold, which causes the resin to harden and become solid. The mixture is then poured into the mold. Once the resin has hardened, the sculpture is removed from the mold.

Finishing

The piece is assembled, hand painted and numbered.

The result is a unique and beautiful sculpture that can be appreciated for generations to come.
