Magic!

 Been working on this for the last week or so - incredibly exited to have it finished. I think it turned out beautifully! I'm going to make a mold from this to cast in different materials but I'll definately have to make more of these to keep just as they are and experiment with colours as well! Under you see the journey from metal rod to sculpture.

Experiments with different casting techniques and materials.

 This rubber-thing was really hard to photograph but I hope you can see it ok.

 This is made out of wax...

 This is my hand cast in plaster using algenate - unfortunately I didn't get the plaster into the fingertips and one finger broke off when i took it out of the mold.

Our new studio

It might be a bit too late to call it new since we've been in it since october but this is our 2nd year studio - before we had a chance to cover it completely in materials and half-finished pieces :) It's almost unrecognizable now!

Things I've been working on lately

 The 2 "plates" above are what I showed for the last crit. The 4 pictures under are some of the experiments leading to them...

Back in school!

So good to be back in school and especially to have access to all the great workshops!
This is my first experiment and I see much potential for further development so stay tuned!
The casts are made in rubber and are wonderfully disgusting to touch and look at!

My insect collection...

 I've managed to get my hands on all these lovely insects over the summer - now all I have to do is figure out what I'm going to do with them...something great I think :)

Summer project

Hello again everyone.
After a long summer of complete silence on this blog I'm back (and planning to upload pictures of what I'm doing a bit more often this coming year although I shouldn't promise anything as it looks like this year will be even more intense than last).
We were asked to do "something ambitious" over the summer to show for the first crit after the holiday which was today.
I chose to be ambitious about the size of my work. This is 2x1.5 m so it's the biggest piece I've ever made. I'm not completely sure I feel like this is finished...haven't decided yet but here it is anyway.
