My newborn baby sculptures, still wet from the womb!
Pour tomorrow
Here I have two figure cast from the first two “Conversation” molds, then the two new molds (male figures), and then one original mold, with the two new (& I hope much better) molds set up and ready for the concrete “pour” tomorrow. The first molds were silicone, the new ones are latex rubber. While the new outer “mother” molds are much better (stronger and properly fitted), the rubber may be less durable, as I started these with some old material which quickly became lumpy! Just hope I can get 5-6 figures from each, then I will be happy enough…
Attention to Art
Art is peripheral or unnecessary most of the time to most people. But that does not mean it is not valuable.
People do need to make art, and have done so for so many many centuries.
And yes, some people do want/need the art other people make. But the attention is generally given to art after basic needs are met: food, clothing, shelter (so in our era jobs, transportation to & from, etc. which takes up most of our days).
