Back in college, I created my one and only sculpture, and inspired by seeing the Rodin exhibit, I decided to post it here. The female figure is less remarkable then the process to make it.
1. Carved the figure out of stiff Styrofoam.
2. Buried the Styrofoam form in a bed of mud and motor oil with the mud firmly packed around it.
3. Let it dry and harden with a long metal tube meeting it in the mud, and the other end sticking out.
4. Poured melted aluminum down the tube to the Styrofoam form, melting the Styrofoam. The aluminum filled the space where the Styrofoam once was.
5. Let the aluminum cool a couple of days and then dig out the sculpture.
Can you tell I was a fan of Henry Moore?
