Modern Relics- I use resin to cast these little treasures so that I can encapsulate interesting elements that inspire the viewer to peer in. A plaster and paper mix creates the amorphous shape inside but I add a quartz crystal for just a little touch of alchemy, to gather the viewers’ positive emotional energy and release it back later when the sculpture finds a home. One of the parts I like the most about my little sculptures is the metal powder incorporated into the face of the creature. It’s called cold cast metal when it’s added to resin.
