Still in progress... “Woman Behind the Masks” Many steps and stages. Casting takes patience and following the process. It will definitely take me three or four times start to finish to begin the apprentice process… Smile . I was thrilled to find this stage of worked. The oriole based wax sculpture was intact and the mold looked perfect. Now it is time to clean it all out…, Milltown up the wax, and be sure the sculpture bed is clean for the eventual filling of molten metal. Still a ways to go... . #aaccsculpture #honoringthejourney #defensemechanisms #sculpturestudio #annapolisartsdistrict #marylandhall #openstudios #artistinresidence #sculpture #livecreatively #elaineweinerreed #ewrartist #studiomusings #creativelicense #humandynamics #studio310B #abex #contemporarypainting #womenartists #creativelicense #casting #flexiblemold #claysculpture #sculptureart #casting #moldmaking #identity #moldmakingandcasting #masksandmirrors #figurativeart https://www.instagram.com/p/BwstJ1mhGA6/?igshid=1750nyesoll7a

Another detail of my new painting… “Family Reunion” (Diptych). I’m savoring outside time and taking a break from mold making for a few days, so I thought I would share some images of new paintings… As you know, work never stops here...or not for long. #marylandartist #survivalofthefittest #aaccsculpture #honoringthejourney #familyreunion #sculpturestudio #annapolisartsdistrict #marylandhall #openstudios #artistinresidence #sculpture #livecreatively #elaineweinerreed #ewrartist #studiomusings #creativelicense #relationships #studio310B #abex #contemporarypainting #womenartists #creativelicense #humandynamics #figurativeart #momentsandmemories #abex #paintings #abstractartist https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv7aHIyj9JL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1x82ub4y1dfwi

Cleaning up my artwork and the bottom mold. Slow process and I had to stop yesterday because I was so tired (long & busy week with lots more to do!!) that I was fog-headed and dropping... Plus, I was damaging the sculpture... so the voice inside me cried “step away from the sculpture and pick it up again next week!” Hopefully a wise choice. . #marylandartist #survivalofthefittest #aaccsculpture #honoringthejourney #lovelearningenglish #sculpturestudio #annapolisartsdistrict #marylandhall #openstudios #artistinresidence #sculpture #livecreatively #elaineweinerreed #ewrartist #studiomusings #creativelicense #contemporarypainting #womenartists #creativelicense #casting #flexiblemold #claysculpture #sculptureart #casting #moldmakingandcasting https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv4BJa8DkbL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1o3xu6yaubuk8

Step 1 of mold making: Decide how many parts are needed… Which can be very complex depending on all the surfaces and indentations and angles… It hurts my head. Step 2 and beyond: I am putting soft clay under and up against the plasticine clay sculpture so that I can mix and pour a flexible mold solution on top of the figure’s back. Ahem... apparently that, too, will be a more challenging thing for my piece because of all the higher elevations of the masks. (Smack me in the head now… - wailed the tuckered Artist! Seriously, though, I definitely want to learn this casting and mold making sets of processes. To show just how crazy this girl is… I am also making what is called a slip cast in my other class… Which is a different way of casting clay pieces to fire in a kiln. I’m making a plaster cast for that one. Of course, drumroll ... I thought I had a simple sculpture/design… wrong! That cast was four parts… 🤔😫😂🤣😂🤣👩🏼‍🎨 Bless my patient instructors 👩🏼‍🏫 👨‍🏫 As for me, I’m in for a penny, in for a pound! . #marylandartist #survivalofthefittest #aaccsculpture #honoringthejourney #sculpturestudio #annapolisartsdistrict #marylandhall #artistatwork #artistinresidence #sculpture #elaineweinerreed #ewrartist #painterandsculptor #creativelicense #humandynamics #contemporaryaculpture #womenartists #creativelicense #casting #flexiblemold #claysculpture #sculptureart #casting #moldmaking #identity #moldmakingandcasting #masksandmirrors #figurativeart https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv2UeXFjld8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=v9eh123q9r23

It’s only when we let our guard down or are with those people we trust that we can truly be ourselves... scars, lines, lumps, ... and that’s when we can let our masks drop... Even if just for a little while... . What masks do you wear - when on stage or giving a briefing...? . I think it’s ready for the first mold-making session.

Still evolving... As you can see, her masks or defense mechanisms (or personas) are only revealed from behind... We tend to keep them under wraps, pulling them out like a suit of armor or a shield as needed. .
