Animation

hairtoextraholly

Not too long ago, struggling with my work more than usual, I wondered if and how to continue. Two things happened. First I tossed out the rulesand limitations I had set for myself 20 years ago and decided to experiment with different media. The starting point for “hairtoextraholly” was to morph other artists’ shapes into mine and back again. As if mimicking the emotional process of influence would point to the resolution of my artistic crisis.

Materials

Apoxie Sculpt

Apoxie-Sculpt is a self-hardening clay manufactured by Aves Studios.

Polytek - Liquid Mold Rubber

I use Polytek 74-30 for poured rubber molds and Polygel 40 or 50 for brush-on molds.

Aqua-Resin

Aqua-Resin (created by an artist) is an easy to use, opaque, non-toxic composite fabricating resin. It is usually used as a casting material but I use it direct, either brushing it or pouring it over a form.

Pilchuck

All the glass seen in my sculptures was produced at Pilchuck Glass School over several weeks during an artist-in-residency. Pilchuck, generously, asks artists to their campus to explore what glass can do. It was a tremendous and productive experience.
