Intentional Play
My three materials are soft sculpture, plaster, and chicken wire. For the past two weeks I've been experimenting with all of them, but mainly plaster and chicken wire since I've already done a lot of soft sculpture.

For this piece, I molded my foot and then casted it in plaster and attached hooks so I could hang it from the chain. I want to continue working on this piece and add more limbs to it. Perhaps some arms and hands (I made some hands but both broke in the mold.)
For this piece I started out by making a chicken wire form of a meat shape (half a cow). I then used burlap and other fabrics and different colored dyed plasters. I have a lot more to do to it but just recently had surgery and had to take a break from it.
Which is why I made this, because I can do it sitting down. Plus I've been wanting to make a lot of them and have them all hanging together as a series, called Innards and Remains.
I also tried making some udders with fabric I want to make a lot of them all different sizes on the wall. I need to work more on it to make it more udder like. Free the nipples!
