Rodin’s lost marbles- found!
These two small figures have been coming to life at a snail’s pace. Work small and fast, I thought. Use images from a long ago trip to the Rodin gardens in Paris, I thought. Try a new molding technique, I thought. I am now ready to mix up the silicon and pour the figures, after which I will cut the molds mostly apart. Then at some point I will pick up some plastic resin casting media, and see how that works. It everything mostly works out, then these may act as foundational figures for a mashup of forms I’ve been thinkin’ on- using the new-to-me media of casting resin. Ongoing to all that, I will continue creating new figures at this small scale.

This shows the sinuous rhythms I was going for.

10″ tall figure, when standing, around 6″ sitting- including the base.
Trying a new mold technique, we’ll see if it works. If not, the figures are lost…

I remember walking through those Rodin gardens with you. Highlight of the entire trip! Good luck with your new mold technique! I’d like to see if the resin sculptures work out.
Our walk through that garden was an eye opener- like hearing a symphony live vs having a bug stuck in your helmet. I had a little blowout on the tall one’s mold- I turned around and all the silicon was pushing up from the bottom of the mold and puddling on the ground. Problem was solved low-tech via a weight and board, and the silicon scooped up and re-poured. Art really just wants entropy to kill it, always. Punks like Rodin never had to deal with the logistics of mold making and production.
