Process
While Robert Graham was still alive, we had the pleasure of working with him on many of his sculpture projects, including the Charlie Parker Memorial. Working directly from his sculpture maquettes, we 3D scanned the pieces to create enlargements for milling and casting with the prestigious Artworks Foundry located in Berkeley, CA.
