Casting with shoes

Carrying on with the casting idea inspired from the foot binding and ballet research, I have started using recycled shoes and creating a mold of the negative cavity of the interior. Whilst still wet, ribbons have been embedded to link to the research and also to keep the shoes together as a pair. The shoe size does in fact matter at this point in development as I thought that the smaller the shoe, the more it related to the idea of foot binding - the young age at which the female feet are broken and bound.
