What We Wear 1

We're bringing our fashion posts back! It took a lot to convince ourselves to step up (onto a tiny stool) and pose in front of a camera. Each week we'll try to post a few "What We Wear" pictures. 
Today we both happened to go for monochromatic minimalist looks.

Solaris

A few weeks ago we made some more resin sculptures. For these pieces we used the resin as both a glaze and a cast. The pieces are not fully complete, they are really just an exploration in the clear  resin material. The process and the resulting sculptures reminded us of imagery from Stanislaw Lem's Solaris. Shown below are the materials we used: a clear casting epoxy and a semi-permanent mold, plastic cups, and a small (adorable) whisk. 

Below, Gropius meets Solaris in these pieces made of paper and glazed with resin:

We made the "doll head" a few years ago. As with all of the heads we make, they never seem to receive a body (maybe we are subconsciously worried about them walking away). 

(yes. that is a lid from a take out soy sauce container. looks shnazzy eh?)

As with the lion head, we made a cast of a bear head originally made in polymer clay. In this video Alex removes the cast of the bear head from the mold.
