After 101 years the basement is getting integrated into the rest of the house. A wall behind the stairs going to the second floor was knocked out, revealing the original construction of the walls, floor, and staircase. This shows the lath & plaster, as well as the little support studs (given all that I've learned lately there's much about this old staircase that would never meet current construction codes!).
All wood is old-growth redwood. That's not really available anymore...it was all cut down to build much of the Bay Area!

STICKY PLASTER ‘B’
CHILDREN’S TRIAGE
The children’s fake Triage is represented in a ‘B’ made out of sticky plasters.
The first part of a two-part plaster mould dries in a temporary wooden box. Clay is packed against the seams between wooden pieces to prevent the plaster from seeping out.
This project was the most fun to me! This piece started out as a wooden structure (first layer) then developed it's shape as I added the newspaper on top (second layer). I then covered the whole thing with chicken wire (third layer) to hold it all together. We were then instructed to cover the whole thing with strips of burlap soaked in liquid plaster (fourth layer). I enjoyed the process a lot, especially seeing it change as I added each layer. The fifth and final layer was to emphasize where it belonged. I chose for my sculpture to belong underwater in the Great Barrier Reef. The colorful aspects of it and the shiny parts helped it really blend in with its surroundings. I saw it as a nice new home for the fish swimming around and the colorful scales on the front gave it a fish-y feel. I used tissue paper for the back because it would sway underwater along with the current making it seem more alive.
I'm all inspired by the sculpture class at art school - we learnt about plaster this week, and all week i've been wanting to play with it again
Victorian plaster was mixed with horse hair to help it bind to the wall. The horsehair is still visible.

1. Drill holes in plaster around main hole. Make sure holes have lathe backing and aren't between lathe.
2. Drill holes in nearby loose plaster. Make sure holes are over lathe.
3. Use canned air to clear dust and debris from holes.
4. Spray each hole with a little water to moisten area for glue.
5. Use caulk gun to fill each hole with general construction adhesive until it oozes out.
6. Wipe off excess adhesive with damp rag.
7. Wait 24 hours for glue to dry. Loose plaster is now secured to lathe.

The Making of Rodin
(May – November 2021)
Working at the turn of the 20th century, Auguste Rodin broke the rules of classical sculpture to create an image of the human body that mirrored the ruptures, complexities and uncertainties of the modern age.
This major exhibition is the first to focus on the importance of plaster in his work. Although Rodin is best known for his bronze and marble sculptures, he himself worked as a modeller, who captured movement, light and volume in pliable materials such as clay and plaster.
This presentation evokes the atmosphere of the artist’s studio. Plasters casts in all sizes show how he continually experimented with fragmentation, repetition and joining existing parts in unconventional ways. Some of his best-known works were influenced by this process, including The Burghers of Calais, which is represented here by the newly restored original plaster.
With the process of making at its heart, the exhibition also considers the complex dynamics of the workshop, as well as between the artist and his models and collaborators, including fellow sculptor Camille Claudel, the Japanese actress Ohta Hisa, and the German aristocrat Helene Von Nostitz.

perhaps the need to clamp down the antler so it didn't move more between pours should have been a clue to the drama that unfolded.
i thought i'd document the whole thing. not the case when seperating the two molds created what can only be described a blood fresco.
i DID get them apart. it took 20 more minutes to remoce the antler.
this is not the way things are supposed to happen. and after my log mold mastery i thought i'd be golden, this mold was so pretty and curvy.
i DID get the antler out, and i have a useable albit not perfect mold. I had to chisel the antler out (?!) and now there's a little chunk of plaster missing near the base, which will cast.
secretly though i think i'm going to like the imperfections.
So check out the construction of these walls, which I have to assume is typical local practice. It's a pile of stones and tiles, slathered over with plaster (and, it must be allowed, augmented with a less picturesque metal strap). The famous wall details of Amateur Architecture suddenly snap into focus: they're ordinary local walls, just gutted - or alternately, not finished - and brought up to monumental scale. Intriguing.
