Having the exterior of my home painted, turns out I’m missing 17 rosettes. instead of pressing new metal ones, restoration cornice work uses cast plastics. The painter saw my studio and offered me to make them instead of contracting out the work, thus saving a lot of money. Using Smoothon silicone mold and casting plastics. This was especially timely after my friend and colleague @lesliepvd sent me an incredible article about how we live in a world of deskilled makers who come out of programs who teach ideologies and lifestyles rather than skill and technique. Makes me even more aware of the value of crafts in a post-digital, deskilled world.
Miniature wingback arm component. This was just a test run, but I am pretty happy with how it turned out. Now that I have learned the basic principles it’s time to see how I can start abstracting and using them as sculptural components.
Studio still life: making furniture composites. 🤞 it works out, as I’m making it up as I go along. The tricky part will be figuring out how to upholster it.

Got to spend my last moments in #jingdezhen with these two lovelies, in @agnesfries amazing studio in the sculpture factory. Pictured also is her assistant Jiaohan, a former colleague, and now a business owner of a rooftop bar. So great to see the both of you in such a wonderful setting.
