Still involving plastic and concrete casting, I am trying to experiment on a smaller scale. Also, I have being doing more soft sculpture work, such as sewing The large piece shown in my last post has hit a small snag and I need to recast the concrete elements, it is more work but I think it is for the best in regard to making the work more credible.

My semester is ending in two weeks so now I am really feeling the pressure to make quickly and to get everything that I need to done. STRESS. But I still feel incredibly lucky to be able to be in a place in my life where I can do what I love every day.

(below is the concrete piece that I need to recast, the concrete looks as if it is piercing (not squishing) the fabric and plasic, which was not my goal).
