Don uses aluminum posts to stabilize the Tree of life mother mold, embedding them in the hydrocal.
After the mold is finished, the mother mold is removed...
and the interior rubber mold cut open. The armature is cut apart to fascilitate opening the mold.
The inside of the rubber mold - these are the roots of the tree.
Don has made a crate for his molds. The next step is to pack all the molds with carpet padding that Fashion Floors of Ekron KY allowed us to scavenge from their dumpster and then send it on it's way to Art Castings in Loveland, Co.
My family had a get together at my Lindsay's (my great niece, on the right of this photo). She lives in Carmel Indiana.
Carmel has a really nice arts district. This piece by Theodore Gall is at Evan Lurie Gallery. Each bronze sculpture opens to reveal various scenes. Really cool stuff.
I thought this was kind of interesting. On the top of the photo is a close-up of my hand with plaster residue. On the bottom is a frost pattern.
