Roar

I wanted to mold my mom, my grandma and my own breast and cast these in ice. It would have been like a "look through the ages" type of thing: Breasts: The Evolution.... that sounds like the name of a corny/hilarious Waynes Bros. film. Anywho, after plastering my mom's boob in a material similar to dental enamalhyde?, observing that it was only getting stickier rather than pulling away from the skin, and discovering that it would take 24 to 36 hours for the stuff to dry (sorry Mom!) I realized that idea wasn't going to work out for this project. Still, I'll keep it in my inspiration bucket. I'm thinking about making a piece akin to that of Verrochio's "Doubting Thomas", only making it about inversion of some sort. Haven't fully worked it out yet. This past week I experimented with hung ice, watched it melt and dissolve the marker drawings below: cool effect but not exactly conceptually "there" for me. The struggle is roaring, but don't they say that that is when the best is created?
