Over this summer I sketched. At first I did not know what I would create next. That's the very thing people rarely tell you about successful art pieces. They are very difficult to follow up. Eventually I stopped thinking about what I'd do next to "top myself." I thought about my needs and my life, and more importantly I just felt. I felt everything I had bottled up for years and I started to sketch. This is when I decided to ask my friends for help. I would make moulds of my body. A series of them.
I made one of my front.
And one of my back.
The result is fascinating!
(Laying out to dry)
I left them to dry in the sun.
I will leave them to dry this weekend. I will then work on practice moulds of my elbow and hand, in order to work out a process. I will eventually fill these larger moulds with beeswax.
I am very excited and nervous to see how they turn out!
