IN-PROCESS DOCUMENTATION PLASTER

IN-PROCESS DOCUMENTATION

December 6, 2022

I started by measuring and cutting the chicken wire.
Next, I wrapped the chicken wire around foam tubing to make the frame stronger. I also added rocks and attached wire braces to make it more stable.
Then I wrapped the entire piece with burlap soaked in wet plaster.
I added many layers of plaster to build up the sculpture.
I smoothed out the rough plaster with a lot of sanding.
To make the spikes, I created a silicon mold out of large nails.
Then I cast plaster into it to make the spikes.
Finally, I attached the spikes, then I added more plaster onto their bases to give the piece more texture.
