Shark in progress (Yes, he's still wearing a birthday hat...this time a different color....more on that later...)
Spent all weekend on him in my FREEZING COLD studio. The process is direct plaster over carved foam. I'm using lathe in the fins instead of foam so they'll be thin, but still reinforced.
Since the piece is to be placed directly on the floor of the gallery space, I'm concerned with people walking into/messing with the fins so I may further reinforce them with sculpting epoxy.
Right now I'm working out the coloring of the patina and the birthday hat. I want the piece to stand out against the color of the floor and the hat to stand out against the color of the piece, with the two colors working well together...we'll see what I come up with...
Anyway, please come see the shark finished at Perspectives, a group show of CFEVA fellows at the Icebox. Here's the info:
