I decided to let my brain go and use this spare piece of cardboard to create with my verbs in mind. I ended up covering quite a lot of this up, but I did enjoy creating with no pressure to have a ‘piece’ by the end. “Impress” and “force” led to my favorite parts of this creative dump, with the scratching of my fingernails into the cardboard fascinating me. Cardboard itself is interesting to me, so I wonder how I can implement the material further in my work.
For the workshops this week we used the two-part molds created previously, and cast a range of materials into them. My slip casts dried too quickly, so are currently drying out in order to be bisque fired. The pinkysil created a bouncy egg for me to play with, but I believe I’d enjoy using it as a mold making material or mold itself rather than a cast object.
