Paul Moore’s methods of teaching himself to sculpt have occasionally made other people nervous. Years ago, when he was working at the famous Shidoni Foundry in Santa Fe, NM, he would secretly observe his boss, Tommy Hicks, memorizing the planes and angles of his face and making mental notes of his expressions and mannerisms. “I was trying to improve my visual retention,” says Moore. “Then, after work, I would go home and sculpt a bust of him. But Tommy didn’t know that. Finally, he asked me point-blank why in the world I was staring at him all the time.” After Moore explained, Hicks was flattered but still became flustered whenever he caught Moore “memorizing” him.
