Alien Eggs


Here are the rsults of my experiments in casting spherical-like objects out of plaster. I used coconut shells, orange peel, Christmas baubles, plastic balls and tinfoil as various moulds. In some of the objects I placed natural materials such as dried leaves, gorse spikes, and burrs in the moulds before pouring the plaster in.





The interior of the coconut shell embedded an interesting fibrous pattern onto the cast plaster object.



I tried positioning the objects in various set-ups in the studio to see what might work best. Next I'm planning to photograph the objects in outdoor settings  (at Blackford Hill).
