Marcell and Hands: plaster

Plaster Sculpture: Silverback and Hail too Spring
Surprisingly fun and easy. Not just because of the mixing of the plaster which my arm happily volunteered for. The factors were many and the feeling great. It had been a true pleasure to make sculptures. The fact that it had to be an human form bugged me since I got the "Hail too Spring" idea after just seeing the bucket of water then when seeing the plastic bags I thought of a sculpture "Silverback" since I knew the bag would get that stony massive form when balanced and dried on one plastic bag corner, making it round and very easy to work with. It finally turned out to become a deep bowing figure with a massive smooth back and of course a "arm" fell off as there was plastic bag wedged into the plaster from my attempt to balance it on one corner.
