This sculpture came as one of my earliest experiments with polymer clay. The classic character from H.P Lovecraft’s short story “The Call of Cthulhu” is somewhat formless, with only a loose description of the godly being provided in the literature. This allowed me to be creative with the design. I pictured him as an old, wise man, with a vast knowledge of the cosmos. I turned a decorative plinth from spalted wood to display the painted bust.
