I am investigating ways of making sculpture using mid to strong grades of hydraulic lime and volcanic rock dust as the main ingredients to make casts from found shoreline objects. .
Over a period of many years I have grown to love and appreciate the Norfolk coastline and I am planning seven walks along some of its shorelines. The first of which began at Holme-Next-the-Sea in Norfolk, UK, where two bronze age wooden 'Sea Henges' or 'monuments' were were discovered. One of which was contraversially unearthed to be preserved.
My interest in lime for the casting process, stems from its lower Co2 emmiting credentials during its manufature and its durability over time when prepared using similar techniques to making Roman Concrete.
Eduardo Paolozzi worked in concrete - but I doubt it was Roman - worth checking
Thank you, yes he did, I saw some of his work recently at the Glasgow museum of Modern Art- He is an extraordinary Artist.
i have not got that far yet and things have got delayed a bit with Covid 19. I am hoping toexperiment with pozzolanic volcanic ash from garden centers (provided it is pure, so far so good). However I am struggling with out access to Fascilities right now. my next unit has been theorized to a large degree and Exhibitions are incresingly on line. I would like to put Sculptural works out there as a kind of Antethesis to everything in the current climate. Sorry for the Slow reply-had quite a lot of things to sort out with works and my course.
