Sandblasted the aluminium ‘Crookee’. The surface of this one retained some of its variation, but the bronze bronze bits looked a lot flatter afterwards.

Creeptacular and Crookee Continue
Friday, June 25th, 2010This was the nerve wracking bit of the bronze casting process. Would the molds shatter, were they solid inside, would the air vents work, was it all a massive waste of time?

Sunday, June 13th, 2010The ceramic process continues on this project with a few wrong turns. After a few comments from people I go convinced that I should build feeding tubes to go to the bottom of the pattern so I spent ages putting these on, then removed them later after some more expert advice.

Pinciers, Parasites, Crookee – Part 1
Tuesday, April 20th, 2010Back to the sculpture studio for more casting experiments using letterpress type. I am making a set of chance words again. These are going to be cast in Grot, using wax and gel flakes. What I am doing differently this time is making a rubber pattern from the type, then casting that in rubber again to make a mould.
