marquettes

Resin casting my marquettes is a great technique. I'm now 'meditating' on the sound in the city (i dont want to talk too specifically because i dont want to sway your view of the marquettes). I can medititate and form objects out of clay. These objects are left to dry and i get a chance to review them before i sand, then cover them in latex, cast, then sand again, and polish. its a lot like creation, and then a long affirmation session. i know i want the original pieces the way i want them because there is so much effort in getting them to the final stage that i dont want to start with a poor idea.
this is the first one cast. the rest will be in black.
here are the clay positives and their latex moulds.
a sample of one which is in latex now, and i may cast tonihgt.
the next 3, shaped in clay in one session. these 3 are sisters within the group of marquettes.
