Casting and Bone Installations

This week at Osage has been a good week. I have done a lot of mold making and casting. As of right now I have just finished two rubber molds of seal bones. Yes seal Bones! No I didn’t kill it! But I have a flipper bone and a femur of some kind. I still have to give them the real test and cast them but that’s coming very soon. I am very excited about finishing the new molds. I am picking out new bones to start new molds. As of right now it looks like a horse leg bone and a couple of cow ribs and clavicle I think but don’t quite know. I’m an artist not a vet LOL. I might have to order more rubber to keep the bone mold making going. Here at Osage I have the time to concentrate on these things instead of being consumed by my everyday life in Cincy. But I miss a lot of my friends and motivation that Cincinnati offered me. But still all I do here is either Sculpture, work on grants and shows, research galleries, go to museums in St. Louis , walk my dog, feed Lily the horse some pears and sleep in so life is good. But I still miss my Crew back in Cincy and all the projects I have waiting for me when I get back. Here at Osage I also finished two more Bone Installation. I am very excited about this! It so cool to have a place to install these Bone installations. I have 165 acres of woods and fields to install whatever I want. So I will be looking for new spots for the next installation October 1st. The Bone installation in the rock garden this week turned out so awesome! I had to sit with it for quite awhile! Took like 200 pictures of the installation for documentation and to apply for shows. Sad because all that saw the original was me and some animals but who knows who will stumbled upon it and enjoyed it. I can only imagine if I came across something like that unexpected and what I would think. I would be very inquisitive and have lots of questions. Maybe video of people’s reactions will be a great idea for the future but until then it rests out in the elements with all the other life in the woods. I have pictures of all my installation at flicker if you want to see the installations I’ve been working on. I also have got the casting studio in full swing. Casting plaster for installations here at Osage and waxes for bronzes for when I get back to Cincy from existing molds soon to be new molds to be casting new bones for new sculpture. But that’s not until next week. As always thank you for your ongoing support and the Art Revolution might be out in nowhere land but my voice is still just as loud and will be with new motivation thanks to all of you! Until next week love ya!
