Valerie Hammond’s ‘Waking Dreams’ Explores Surreal Visions of Nature at the Cusp of Sleep

High-relief of the tauroctony of the Mithraic mysteries. Found in 1895 at the Sarrebourg mithraeum (Pons Saravi, Gallia Belgica). Now on display at La Cour d'Or museum in Metz.

Somehow neglected to share this Stegosaurus bas-relief project here, when I began in December 2024, so now that I'm starting it over I may as well share both versions. The more finished-looking one, in soft clay, is now unworkable because its plastic base has warped too badly, and so the new, slightly larger air-hardening clay version is mounted on a pane of glass instead. Thankfully, water restores this Paperclay's pliability, so I'll be able to texture and reshape this project even as it dries. More detail and context in the image descriptions.
