2/5/08 NEW Cast Bowl Forms
I have been working on my cast bowl forms this winter. This is the technique I traveled to Missouri to study with sculptor Jenna Weston www.jennaweston. Working in this format is am AMAZING amount of work, by my rough estimate, five times more work than paper on canvas.
I am learning how different papers types work in covering the surface of the cotton cast form. One such paper, hosta leaves with kinaf and copper foil inclusions looks like leather when completed. Paper made mostly from a softer cotton is so soft that the seams totally disappear when rubbed with the brush - a positive factor.
I hope to get this new work completed and photographed by the end of the month and will be sending it to my newest gallery, the Khnemu Studio Gallery by early May www.khnemustudio.com I also have a special collector waiting to see this cast work.
