Rock / Product

This plaster model is casted inside a foam mould. After the settlement of the plaster, with the aid of aceton I melted the mould and got this very thin shell wih another layer of coloured plaster inside.
The light conditions and the material qualities differ a lot between the outer and the inner shell of the plaster model.



The contrast of the two surfaces differ very apparently. while the inner shell is very smooth and reacting to the light in a very different way, the outer layer is because of its previous attachment to the foam mould, feels more rough.


An accident happened during the making of this plaster model which also lead me to have a very interesting result. One weak corner of the foam mould broke with the pressure of the water and started floating on the bottom corner of the box that I'm doing the casting in.
This accident caused the outer layer to spread into the supposively inner shell. (the image on the right)
