The objective of this project was to create a mold intended for single-use and repeatedly use it to cast plaster until the mold deteriorated. I was able to successfully cast five pieces before the alginate mold I was using fell apart. The intention of this project was to ignore issues regarding craft and perfection, instead focusing on the utilization of a material to its full extent. The results of this project differ greatly from much of my other work which is so closely tied to the presentation of clean and well-defined compositions.
