A few holes are now cut into the plaster wire structure and the edges smoothed with plaster and scrim. Bryn says it's gynaecological. Both the inside and outside are part of the sculpture. I reach my arm inside like a vet facilitating a calf's birth.
With a light inside it has a totally different feel and aura.
2 more hours of applying plaster earlier today have resulted in this. I am deliberately leaving holes in the structure, possibly with a view to lighting it from the inside.
THIS IS A RECORD OF MY WORK BOTH IN THE STUDIO OF PAUL BADGER & ELSEWHERE. I AIM TO DOCUMENT TIPS & PROCESSES, TAKE PICTURES & VIDEOS FOR ANYONE'S EASY FUTURE REFERENCE. ENJOY YOUR VISIT & FEEL FREE TO COMMENT OR CONTACT ME
