Body Forms take to Cement in "From the Ground Up" series
We have gathered together the discarded body form molds of Ceramic Artist, Richard Smith, and will be recycling the plaster of paris molds by first painting them with exterior latex paint, also recycled and acquired through Ben Lomonds Waste Center.
The paint will help protect and thicken the molds which are being used as garden art until such time as the cement delivery, from the sister series:" From The Ground Up", will use them to demonstrate the creation of concrete body sculpture.
From the Ground Up
continues to prepare for the upcoming
cement pour for the Octagonal, passive solar
heated, radiant tube slab which will be
finished off in recycled pieces of black
marble and granite.
In anticipation of excess cement, body
formed molds have been painted and laid out
ready to receive. No cement will thusly be
wasted.
All excess pieces of rebar and wire will be inset into the forms when being poured.
Metal scraps from mattresses, bedframes, and other recycled metals are being incorporated into the sculptures.
In addition, recycled styrofoam bits may be added into the cement mixture to lighten the forms.
These sculptural forms were created in the sister series,
"Artists of Santa Cruz",
and will take their places in the gardens surrounding,
and may be embedded in walls, frescos,
and other cement and stone architectural details.
