Experimentation and Development Ideas

Using a technique I learn from last year, I made a rough shaped sculpture out of chicken wire which I would later cover in newspaper that had been soaked in water mixed with PVA glue, which would then be coated in plaster.

Getting the shape was simple enough, as I didn't want any specific shape, all it needed was a base so that it would stand on it's own. I filled the middle with a bit of balled up newspaper so that it had some support and wouldn't cave in from the weight of the plaster.

Once I had done this, I covered it in multiple layers of PVA soaked newspaper, so that I then had something to pour the plaster onto.
