Art installation in Rhyolite, Nevada, an abandoned mining town. The artist, Albert Szukalski, wrapped models in plaster-covered fabric.
For me one of the biggest pleasures of Mexico is the richness in colours and textures of just about everything you look at.
These forms were casted from a 2 piece plaster mold that I made from a sculpted plasticine clay form. They are the same shape but are differentiated by thier color or design.

Sculpture made in 1999(?) while at New College. The assignment was to make a mold, but I wasn't happy with the limitations of regular molds, so I heat-shrunk a heavy trash bag around a piggybank. This is the only surviving of three; the others had fruits in them, which rotted and evolved over time, but also attracted gnats.
plaster |ˈplastər| noun 1 a soft mixture of lime with sand or cement and water for spreading on walls, ceilings, or other structures to form a smooth hard surface when dried.
This was in the Victoria and Albert museum. Apparently in the 19th century the Victorians thought it was cool to make plaster casts of famous artwork, I think they were right.
Plaster sucks. Okay, here's my first lesson from this weekend's project: DO NOT use any sort of reciprocating saw on plaster walls (such as a jig saw). The teeth can just grab hold of the lathe and proceed to crack all of the plaster off of it.
Instead, use a hole saw (if you can buy one big enough) or just drill a starting hole and cut the hole out with a rotary bit (like a zip tool or a Dremel).
This is a 4 inch diameter hole (it's round, I just took the photo at an angle) to accept a lighting box. I'm putting a light in the basement stairwell to make it less treacherous.
This was the plastering crew for much of the interior lime/sand plaster, after we had completed a morning's work.
