Heidi,
No vastness here.
I don't use artificial light to light my subjects. My initial thoughts would be that lighting a sculpture would be no different than lighting a real person, except for the blinking part.
Do you mean that your flash shoots away from the subject and onto (instead of into an umbrella) the surface of this dome (which would be wrapping away from the subject)? If this is the case I can see where most of the light would be diffused away from the subject creating a much softer effect.
My guess is that, as with most of these artificial set ups, it's a matter of doing it over and over again (adjusting the distance - subject to light) until you get the desired results, and then you just don't move it. This is the real benefit to these systems. Once they are in place you just move the subjects into place and it will replicate the results over and over.
I'm not going to be much help in this regard, I know that others use these types of systems and may come along to comment.
