Summary: Fossil slab sculpture technique, fish test in clay,
dragonfly test in grout
In other news, I've continued to pursue my recent idea of
making "fossil" type slab sculpture, low relief. I push different
objects (keys, blades, screwdrivers, paperclips, forks, etc.)
into the surface to leave an impression behind.
This ties in with the objects and linear form in my wire
sculpture work. I might make some fossils illuminated with
gold leaf or other metallic substances, or leave it as pure
white, depends on my mood.
I've done two tests so far.
[sketch] Fossil
fish in gray clay. The clay is really too brittle and
dark, though.
[sketch] Fossil
dragonfly test with cream colored grout mix. The grout
mix doesn't pick up a detailed impression well, at all --
I'm a bit disappointed... the grout is much stronger than
clay.
