Octopus
Early latex test samples (on left), and some photos of my encounter with an octopus (right). Latex samples were made to test results of interior lighting, and subtle skin variations.
‘biofabricated leather’ samples
First work in progress test casts. As part of my new propositional sculpture installation bloodlines – I’m starting to test out various molds for swatches of fanciful ‘skins’. These ones feature suckers, valves and scales. The suckers casts are double-dipping for my new research into octopuses, using the teats/nipple molds from boobscape to create the mold (I have some larger ones in progress).
