IN-PROCESS DOCUMENTATION

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. -

REFLECTION
December 6, 2022
This plaster project was an amazing experience. As I worked on it I improved my problem solving skills such as figuring out how to create a stable structure that still resembles the sculpture I had in mind. I learned a few new skills along the way like plaster application and sanding. Not only that, but I’ve learned how to create silicon molds and plaster casting. What I loved most about the process was getting the sculpture down to a smooth finish. I definitely struggled in some areas, such as constructing the model out of chicken wire without having it fall over. I really like how my piece turned out and I think the only thing I would really change is the top loop, because I would’ve had it bend more like it was under stress which would enhance the feeling of dread.
