WHAAAALEEE SHAAAAAAARKSS

This is a project for a sculpture ill make for a childrens with down syndrome centre. It is inspired by tactile aquariums, since the kids will probably touch it a lot i want to make it full of textures for them that they will like.

I personally am very sensitive to texture, so this is a very dear project to me

T4TM (Theseus4TheMinotaur)

lost wax cast bronze, patina & paste wax

2023

(process photos & info under cut <3)

my minotaur boy!! pls click on the photos for higher res! my thesis is focusing on trans men and creatures (how original ik) and this was last semester's final. i spent a lot of time looking at sculptures of the theseus/minotaur story, and yknow? a LOT of them are erotic! i'm pretty sure i saw some of them on tumblr a decade ago, and that's led to this now!

as you'll notice, the minotaur has a big t-dick! i wanted to give him breasts and an enlarged clitoris to present a very masculine trans figure. the boy on the bottom is also trans because i say so . the piece is about looking up to older, bigger, hairier trans men and seeing something awe-inspiring and beautiful. the minotaur was locked up by a cruel father for being different, and i think modern adaptations tend towards a sympathetic asterion (his name in one version)

making this piece was. so much effort. it took me about 3 months to get it all together - from clay model (plasticine) to 3D print to silicone mold to wax cast, and finally bronze pour into the shell mold. and then a TON of filing, sanding, dremel-ing, and various other metalworking techniques that probably took years off my life.

i started with sketches and made theeeeeee ugliest model ever:

then used a 3D scanner to get it digital, then spent a goooood month or two making him pretty in blender! then i spent an agonizing few weeks trying to get it print-ready, and fiiiiiinally did

^^^ an early resin printed draft of the model - you can see in the final that i added lots to theseus after some feedback, but sadly the nosering broke off every time i cast it so i just. let that be <3

then came the moldmaking, and then the wax dipping!! the yellow stuff is shell mold (ground up ceramic bits and algae soup, sticks to the wax, then silica sand in varying sizes on top) which gets the wax melted out, and bronze poured in!

then it's all metalworking, cutting stuff off, and working with hot metal. they don't tell you about all the bronze dust and how annoying it gets wearing a respirator AND goggles. but it is for me health, me boy. here's him all cleaned up before the patina:

and then i spray him down with various chemicals to make it "patina" (aka rust) in pretty colors. wait a few days, then apply paste wax to seal it and give it that shine!

then we get what you see above!!! the blue was actually unintentional, and i'm still not super sure why it looks that way.. but it's pretty so idc <3

thanks for reading!! if you ever have any bronze/casting questions, don't hesitate to message me! <3

Nature and luxury in harmony

Leaving the fashion subject, a little, because I don't consider myself an expert. I wanted to pay attention to this architectural project of a luxury resort in Bali. Obviously, I will never be able to see something like that up close. However, it is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen in terms of architecture. It looks like a dream. It's like you're in a science fiction movie. Because at the same time that the wooden composition gives an almost rustic and primitive air to a resort totally immersed in the middle of a forest, you have extremely modern and elegant shapes and lighting.

It's like I'm in a James Cameron movie, like Avatar. However, I always thought that something like this was only possible in 3d graphic creation. The mix of modern and rustic is what most calls my attention. It is as if the entire composition was taken from the natural resources of the forest. The spherical geometry of the rooms and different environments does not give it a futuristic, almost spaceship-like appearance. The lighting that at the same time manages to make the most of the natural light mixed with artificial lighting is a show in itself. Really, the result of all this is almost like being immersed in a big dream.

I think the highlight of this work is its integration with the space. The architectural communication with the local vegetation gives an impression of being a hidden indigenous town or city. However, perfectly designed and very studied for the environment. The format reminiscent of hollows and that bring fluidity and naturalness to the environment. The textures and colours that blend with nature. It is a perfect harmony that, without disturbing the environment, only brings a lot of sophistication and luxury.

not tadc art BUT i just realized you guys have never seen the giant ceramic lps i made in senior year of high school and i need to show her off like look at her... my darling girl... posing with the original i based her off of for size comparison

she is very obviously made by human hands [lumpy] but that is part of her charm and you cannot convince me otherwise

and since her head and body are separate, she can turn her head in all directions just like the real deal!!

okay that is all. you have seen her now back to your normal programming

#i made her for a project where you had to size up a small household item and i was like would a toy count and they told me to go for it #also don't make fun of me for she/her ing a sculpture the original lps was my favorite as a kid so she is very much a full being to me #littlest pet shop #ceramics #my art #btw don't expect more ceramics i had a lot of fun with this but i have not had the time or resources since to do anything like this #anddd if you know me irl and recognize her uh. shhhhh .
