Artist Statement:
“It’s been challenging to find time to sculpt as freely as I use to now that I’m a stay-at-home father. I decided I would take a break from art shows so I could focus 100% of my energy on family but before I could pull the art plug, my friends at Copro Gallery invited me to sculpt one last piece for the 25th annual LA Art show. I figured this would be the last sculpture I create for a while, so I wanted to make something that was true to myself, though I wasn’t sure how that would translate visually.
A lot of times when I’m sculpting a piece, I don’t necessarily know what I’m making or even why I’m creating it until it’s finished. When I started this self portrait, I hadn’t had a full night’s sleep in months. I needed a moment of solace, and if I couldn’t get one in real life then perhaps this sculpture could. Sort of a wishful thinking piece. “Dreaming” is my interpretation of the blissful feeling you get during a deep REM sleep. The third eye symbolizing the POV of the dream state. The moon and stars are the characters within the dream. Black tears stream from sleeping eyes representing the shedding of negative thoughts.
Creating this was both eerie and therapeutic. Sort of an outer body experience where you get to play the role of your own corpse’s mortuary makeup artist in an attempt to put yourself back together for a final viewing. A week after the sculpture was completed, I finally got a full night’s sleep and the emotion from the sculpture manifested into my own.”

Dreaming - Self Portrait Sculpture by Jim McKenzie for LA Art Show 2020.. - Фільми й анімація
the fact that you literally sculpt every single pore in your face blows my mind
Jim's videos are very much like his sculptures. They have their own style, amazing in terms of creativity, and full of care and talent. Good job!
Thank you Man!
My old art teacher made us sculpt busts in my advanced sculpting class. We all agreed our work was embarrassing, but none of us has sculpted a bust before. It takes time to hone that skill. So if you don't like the outcome of your first work. Do it again. Get better.

This piece of art deserves way more than 6000$
It seems that at any moment, the statue will open its eyes. It is so realistic that it scares me! I love your job, Jim. Simply in love.

Jim, that's incredible! This is one of the best sculptures I've ever seen!
That’s because it is a casting of his face, the hair is well done tho
YEAHHHH finally a new video of our legendary Jim!!!! 😍💙😍

Yodada
Sinceramente estoy tan orgullosa de haber encontrado esto en el inicio (gracias algoritmo de youtube). Es bello ver a la gente desarrollándose en sincronía con su ser. Felicidad pura 🌱💗
Idk if he already had preprepared eyeballs or if he just made a bunch for the right size but both situations are unsurprising especially for Jim McKenzie
this is my first clay art project ua-cam.com/video/Lqnn3DYj0xs/v-deo.html

Those kinds of people who make sculptures are worth their efforts
The entire video I kept waiting for the piece to open its eyes. Remarkable!
The sculptor is as beautiful as his work ❤️😍🥰
Vi Matsunaga because he is sculpting himself? Lol
We gotta say thank you for this man. He gives us motivation,insparation and creative ideas!
Not only is this something they will pride themselves on in the future, but whoever did the music and editing deserves a round of applause.
This ol boy's attention to detail is on god level..
Honestly you deserve more recognition, you put so much effort and work into your sculptures, it’s amazing 👏🏻
I haven't got any words to describe how beautiful it is

Same..
My 5-year old daughter loves your work so much. She always suggest to watch it everyday while holding & molding her play dohs. Thank you for inspiring my kids!
Wow Jim!! You are really impressive
I love your art, you have a lot of fans here in Mexico 💜 thanks for your videos, showing us your talent
kept waiting for the sculpture to open it's eyes
Let’s all be honest,
*you were just passing by the UA-cam recommendations and then u see this, then your curios mind decides to click on this.*
I clicked in this, not my mind
Nope.
Nope, I’ve been a huge fan of his work for years
Same dude
Let’s all be honest, nobody gives a shit whether this was recommended or not so stop asking for likes

It is a pleasure to be enchanted by beautiful videos.
The pieces (sculpture & documentary video) are both lovely. Thank you for sharing.
Anyone else spot the whiteboard saying 'things to do' and it has 'NEW PINS!' and 'SHIRTS' on it?! OKAY, TAKE MY MONEY!
Hi! What are you gonna do with the original clay head!? and... planning to make other sculptures, since you made a "print" out of the clay one? (Sorry for the broken english.. I hope you'll understand what I meant...)
You're artwork never ceases to amaze me. Thank you for showing me another beautifully creepy piece. I love it.
Beautiful piece of arts! Love them!!!
It premieres at 12:30 in the night at our place. Could you please find a legible time for the people of East who wish to watch.
I LOVE YOUR WORK.
For us, it's at 3 in the afternoon. I'm fine with our time
If u lived 590 years ago from now
.
This would've cost millions
Thanks for making a masterpiece that makes me watching it over and over again
Non ci sono parole adatte per lodare le tue opere. Grazie per aver condiviso quest’ultima creazione.😊 un saluto caloroso dall’Italia!❤️
Интересно, здесь есть русские?)
Yhyyyy, new video))
Есть
Есть
И белорусские.:)
Советские)
Да же казахи не отсутствуют !)
Why does this remind me of Noranti from Farscape
Just googled, and can not unsee
Even the hair and skin tones bare a resemblance to his sculpture that's eerie. Good find.
so often when i'm uninspired...i come back to this video.
and every time i find bliss, and a new desire to create...
I think accidentally used Jim McKenzie to Pavlov myself lol
wish I had a longer version of the bg music so that I could play it while I work.
perhaps one day I'll actually keep my word and make a self-portrait like i say I will _every time I rewatch the video_
these are very disjointed but all that I really wish to say is that just. you are a _huge_ inspiration to me
Amazing. I think so often we have this visualization, a self image we imagine that is not quite unlike our physical selves but morphs still into something other worldly. When I picture myself, I don't see a reflection like a mirror, or a moment of time like a photograph, I see myself in a different form. Another creature entirely some might think, but it's me as I feel I would actually be if I took up a truer representation on the outside. We are human but on the inside we are so much more. An artist has the skill set to free that form, for just a moment at least.
