I’ve been working on this object for the last 10 days or so, the idea has been playing around in my head for the last 5 months. The Bronze Casting is not quite finished (maybe by the upcoming Wednesday) but I documented some of the stages in the process so far.
This particular form, unlike my first, was constructed from the ground up with wax. This skips the more costly method of making a form, say out of clay, casting the said form and then using the cast to make a hollow wax positive. However this process of constructing originally from wax takes more time, for example this form racked up well over Fifty hours of work in a single week, and once cast into bronze that’s it – there is no cast from which to make duplicates.
