I’ve been enjoying this shot of a work in progress.

Such an experience watching this come together:)

Some work in progress pictures of a current project.

I chose to the leave out the pictures where I clearly over worked it🤫

Mother Earth looking rather forlorn at what we humans have done to her. March 2022

I made this bust from plaster of paris on top of newspaper and a wooden post, formed with scrim and plaster. Her eyes are made with marbles which look like the Earth from space.

I made tiles by imprinting flower and seed heads and pine cones into clay and then pouring plaster into them. When they were dry I broke them into pieces and stuck them onto the bust and then coated them with copper powder covered with ammonium choride to turn it green.

The whole head was then coated with iron powder and sprayed with water and covered with plastic to let it rust. During that process her hair, which was made from sticks went mouldy, creating a furry coating.
