“Art is a lie which makes us realize the truth.” - Pablo Picasso

Mold'n away

A couple more photos, one showing the the use of color to separate the layers of rubber and insure an even coat has been applied. The second of Keith working away. I actually have been helping beleive it or not but its the "grunt" who must take the pictures!

“Art is the expression of the profoundest thoughts in the simplest way.” -Albert Einstein

The "BIG DIG"

We got walloped with 2'+ feet of snow on Wendesday but like they say "No rain, nor sleet....".......Thats Keith getting up close and personal with his work!

“The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection.” - Michelangelo

Next step

This is a shot of the rubber and the structure (mother mold) made to back the rubber. The grey strips in the bottom right corner is the clay wall used to separate sections.

“For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through in once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge you’ll never walk alone.”
-Audrey Hepburn

Rubber application

Six layers of rubber must be applied to each "section" of the mold before a plaster "mother mold" can be created on top of it.

A "section" is created by putting up a clay wall on the perimeter of an area of the mold approx.3'x3'. These sections are manageble for one person to work on during the casting process.

A "mother mold" is a plaster backing added to the rubber to insure the rubber keeps its form while casting from it.

“When we are no longer able to change a situation…we are challenged to change ourselves.” - Viktor

“A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself. What a man can be, he must be.” - Abraham Maslow
