A plastercast is such a nice medium to slow down time. Suddenly you are not in a rush because you cannot rush. Suddenly there is no hast to catch a bus, because you cannot haste. Annoying and first and then … lovely !
Thésée et le Minotaure / photograph of a vintage 1885 engraving by J.H.E. Whitney within Century Magazine - taken from a photograph from the plaster cast of the work by Antoine Louis Barye (1796-1875) (1885 photograph originally taken with the permission of the Ferdinand Barbédienne Foundry in Paris - Barbédienne Purchased 125 casting models from the late Antoine Louis Barye’s sale in 1876. He set about casting and selling editions of these sculptures which was very successful, devoting an entire catalogue to these works.)
Tinted plaster cast from a single-use mold (fancy way of describing balsa wood bits hot-glued to plexi). I have no idea why I made this, but felt compelled to give it a try.
