The vision for my work has expanded to larger pieces of cast metal sculpture. Molds of over 600 pounds are not safely moved or opened with human power and teamwork. I am in need of a gantry, hoist, chains, etc to be able to carry out my projects. Larger molds will also mean purchase of a cement mixer, as hand and paddle mixing is no longer a feasible solution. Desired outcome, completion of five sand molds of ~600 pounds loaded into vehicle and transported to sculpture workshop in July. Followed by assembly of five finished castings to be displayed together in outdoor installation.
I now have the means to make sand molds in my home studio and safely load them into my truck to be cast at foundry, allowing for larger work. I now also have the means to cast small pieces in my home studio in bronze and aluminum.
