Sometimes to make art you have to learn new skills and today that is what I did. I had a chance to work with the laser cutter for the first time. I had hoped to make a stamp with my name for my ceramic pieces but it is a little more complicated then I had imagined so maybe later this week.
In mold making I started a project that I will complete in the next week. With the help of my professor Steven Thurston and my classmates Natalia and Jacci I made a mold of my right foot. We used Body Double- fast set from Smooth On. After it set up they laid plaster bandages over the Body Double to create a rigid outer shell for better casting.
My plan is to finish this piece using a similar technique to Saturdays adventure using stencils. If I cut and spray stencils and place this pieces over top it leaves the open area to chance.

While working at Urban Arts Space this afternoon I took a stroll around the gallery to see all of the new work from the recent show Inosculation installed. Here are a few shots from the gallery.
