Penis’s.
Getting a reputation around the building of being the penis man, but this to me is a necessary side track to purvey my feelings through these sculptures and add my view of the myth.
upon a chat with a colleague it was suggested that the viewer may have a more personal response if the phallic shape put into the trap was a more realistic penis.
Today I have modelled a new penis out of clay and cast it in the rubber mould to be able to create hollow slip casts of it.
In this post you’ll see penis’s MK1 and MK11.
Creating a slip cast of a penis is very labour intesive. it involves taping the two halves of the rubber mould together. pouring plaster in 3 times while making sure it covers every inch of the mould then on the final plaster pour the holes are blocked up and the plaster left in to block these up. The plaster is then left to dry. once dry carefully pull apart the mould and reveal a penis inside. this is proving to be a very testing and but rewarding process and im learning the technique to get perfect penis’s.
