Stem cells and plaster casting....


This blog thing is still causing me problems: I am restricting what I put up here, and in a sense neglecting my hardback sketchbook. I will have to employ discipline.


Each time I settle down to add to this I feel as if I am speaking to another - I am telling someone, so I need to write correctly, spell correctly and be careful of going off on a tangent!


Anyway yesterday was spent in the plaster room, casting. : ) I am half way through casting my stapler - I have made a very beautiful mould in plaster of paris. I also cast my finger, finger print and hand prints. I thought the hand print seemed quite childlike however when I placed the half finger in it It became a bit FREEKY!


The casting has inspired the possibility of perhaps scultping some of the minute parts of the human. My eyelash, a cell. Possibly a stem cell?

















I just came across this image of eyelash flowers:

I have also been considering the use of maps, a collection of all the addresses I have ever lived at. A record of the journey. I notice that Victoria Burge has explored mapping too:


Hmmm.


Anyway best go, got things to get on with see you tomorrow Jim ( I have checked and double checked the day!).
