You may notice that I've uploaded a different version of the sculpture onto the blog. I did a little revision on it after the critique and went back to work on it to fix some of my glaring errors.
I wanted the piece to sort of simplify the painter's workplace, so I used a lot of the acrylic that I had been using on the weekly sculptures on this project. Maybe it looks at least a little like a 3-D painting? I hope it at least looks nice.
The process of creating the rubber latex base didn't go too badly. It was easy to apply the layers, and I managed to keep the brush free of enough dried latex to at least be useable for painting as well. I was thorough, I supposed. I recall I did have a lot of trouble getting the casting right, as well as not breaking the plaster when it dried. And boy, did it dry quickly...
I recall Horochowski saying my plaster base was the least stable she had ever seen. Let's just put that behind us, shall we?...
