Bringing Eve To Life.

I've been working on this sculpture, for a couple of months, though not as diligently as a I should, but I figured, what the Hell why not show off the process, since I started taking pictures of things as they came to light. And this is after all a works in progress thing.



So you start out welding together some steel rods, hot rolled or something or another, I will get the lingo down this year! I will, I must!

And then you spray paint that, because you don't want the thing to rust and ruin your lovely white plaster, though I am curious, so one day I think I shall.




Then as you see above you take recyclables that you forgot to take to the recycling center and tape/shove them delicately and jam pack the armature with plastic bottles and bags.
After that you sew with wire, window screening (say that three times fast) onto the armature and wrap in some areas so the plaster has something to adhere to. You will need gloves for this.
My weekend on the Windy Hill farm helped me out here, with some new wire techniques, so wiring chicken fence can be useful to art. (Actually I'm pretty sure I can make anything useful to my art.)




This can get a little tedious...




After that, you start covering the structure with plaster. Start with the base so that it won't topple over.



This takes a long time.

I'm still doing it.

Its a back and forth process, mostly posted right now is more the forth part.






She's come along way since may, when all these pictures were taken. But I haven't taken pictures recently. I'll try and update more, soon.
One day not too far away, she will be done...hopefully it won't be too far away.
