Cement work
Cement work can be slow going: creating forms or armature, then actual cement, then dry times, etc. The arch will be part of an installation with my small cast concrete Conversation figures. The large figure is intended for a large scale Conversation group, if the result is good enough and if I have the energy to make a full set!
Men with hearts
Larger armature
DId someone say “I thought these would be life-size?” Well, eventually there will be at least one! This is a start at the armature, using a damaged tomato cage for a start on the torso & head. No, the green bucket is not part of this … and there will be many more days work before I drape the armature in cement soaked fabric. I am thinking the legs happen separately, and attach later on, TBD.
Poured Today
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…
