"Little Death/Funeral For the Self", January 2020, Mixed Media Sculpture

Explanation of Process, Themes, and extra fun stuff below.

This was one of the last sculpture pieces I made in college. Though I wasn't aware of it at the time, I think I may have subconsciously made this piece to acknowledge the death of my old self and welcome a new era of self discovery and healing.

The body of the piece is cast in foam from a lifecast I made of myself when I was at my lowest point- severely underweight, overworked, and consumed by self hate. The glasses were ones I had worn as a kid, and the hat and shirt were ones that I had worn almost every day up until the day I dressed the sculpture. The hair on the piece is made up of trimmings I had saved from myself when I got the last bit of dyed hair cut out months prior. The wounds on the face mimic one of the last makeup applications I had done on myself during my stay with an abusive employer. The casket around the sculpture is made of old wood from the fence outside my parent's house. All of these aspects of my identity were things that kept me trapped, and the references to places and people I worked for were things that I needed to leave behind.

At the time I presented this piece, I couldn't find a meaning for it. I explained to the class that I just wanted "to make something cool". Looking back on it now, I see that there was much more going on. 2020 was the year I truly pivoted and started trying to seek help.

Now for the real bummer- this piece was displayed once for class, and then sat in the makerspace of my college for a while before we all got sent home for the quarantine. I was unable to retrieve it before we all left. I went back to find it, but it was gone.

I have no idea where this little me went, but its weirdly comforting to think that this old version of myself is out there living a life of its own, separate from me.

I hope he's happier now.

Life Casting Finds Diverse Applications

Life casting is a three-dimensional reproduction of any part of the live human body. It not just captures the shape and structure, but also minute details like fine body hair, skin texture, fingerprints and even the pores on the skin. This is a permanent and durable copy that lends itself well to varied uses.

Choosing a Life Casting Artist Made Easy

Life casting opens up a wonderful medium of preserving a memory of yourself or a loved one, much better than a simple photograph or painting. The three-dimensional reproduction can become commemorative too!

Behold! All-in-One Kits for Making Life Casts

Mold making and casting are fun activities that keep a person hooked on during the entire process. It is fascinating to create a mold of something and then work on making a perfectly detailed cast from the mold. The process becomes even more exciting when the mold is made of a body part, like hands, feet or face before creating an exact replica in the form of a life cast!
