Mt aim for this project is to make a piece based on personal happy thoughts and memories and creating a trace from it all. It being a personal project, my hopes to how people and my collaborative partner and myself hope it to be a touching piece. Working with someone they can choose to bring an object or photograph of personal significance, preferably easier to work with something with intricate detail. With this we will both use our objects and make plaster casting from it, either for scenery, jewelry or anything the object suit being presented in. I would like to make pieces of scenery remembered from the past of importance, like a live 3d photo. My inspiration comes from a artist Jean Antion Houden, an expert in plaster cast and uses the material well, creating good sculptured detailed pieces of the art. With this she creates a trace from using plaster casting also a live form of a trace which i find sculpture can represents. The resources needed for this project is powder, a bowl.
I think gloves will be needed and a spoon to mix the powder with water. With health and safety, myself and my collaborative partner will need to consider that the room should be ventilated, latex gloves in case of allergies or any kind of skin condition and making sure telling how the mix hardens and can get very hot so avoid touching it when not molding it. If hand is stuck the mix will expand and the chemicals will enter the body. This should be taken seriously as its very dangerous. When not needed, to NOT pour the mix into the sink, and to just throw it away. I'm also considering using cynotype, when using the photos as an example for the art pieces. Placing those photos onto asitate and from then making prints onto specialized paper. That could in some way be combined with the plaster casting. Like the casting could be the foreground scenery and movable, and the cynotype could be used as a backdrop.
My CV, where i got a B on ART, B on DRAMA, B on EXPRESSIVE ARTS, A on RUSSIAN, and C on literature. I can play piano, i have developed skills on video art, plaster casting, sculpture, photography, sewing and adobe illustrator and flash.
This being a collaborative project i hope this will be organic. I this will end successfully when celebrating the whole project at the 8th of July.
