A faculty member in the art department had an extra table and asked if I was interested in showing my work. Very fortunate to represent FSU’s Art Department @ Stacking Layers
It is the Launching of “Repliciad” Premier images Below 🙂
I need a vacuum or some solution.
I left the striation marks from the 3d printer on the plug without sanding them off… not sure if I like the texture or not–needs to be re-cast, possibly remolded. Too many bubbles.
COLORS ARE EXPERIMENTAL.
Modified my mold for the outlet (if you look at the middle, you can see a weird inside texture, i just cut it out, new cast will be perfect)
Progress… slow… but more pieces underway.
Should have the real thing tomorrow morning. Until then, a concept shot with leftover material.
Owen wanted my process to be revealed more so in the magazine/thesis I’m making.
(digitally created > printed > Molded >silicone/plastic casts)
Below are a few styles of renderings. Its easily changeable. but a starting point. 
6 Harsh Truths That Will Make You a Better Person
–If you’re bored. Best thing I read all year. very inspiring as an artists….
This new piece is underway.
Need to do a print at FAR for this dome piece.
All mold materials have arrived.
And I could be working harder, but feeling confident.
after completing the plug, I can now make an outlet thats a custom fit.
Plugs will get pushed deep inside. I’m thinking a 00 Shore Hardness silicone.
Print will be in 3 pieces creating a float mold.
I’ll think more on the designs. these are just renditions from my sketches.
It was a productive day! I figured out how to use the laser with the broken functions…
I want a male/female arm piece.. I don’t know enough about product design to pump out variations. I’m satisfied with the one that looks like the maxi pad. (I’m getting very good at Illustrator having no prior experience)
>>>Thoughts?
Someone is concerned with the amount of ABS that I’m using… Its only $15 a pound… and all my stuff is hollow, but I will weigh it and pay accordingly… 😉
>>>Plugs
Ideally and time permitting, my thesis will be all about connectons and options. Right now, my only option is to work..Trying to get ALOT done over break… I have a time card app on my phone for accountablity.. I would be more productive if the Laser was working!! maybe get fixed monday? .. . these are quick renderings of my plugs.
Green will be silicone–ordering florescent pigments. (confused becuase these pigments work for silicone and urethane?)
Ideally, I can do all he casting at once. Start soon–I need to bug Master Craftsman about a vacume pump…
In reference to my current series, 10 Fake Performances, with Jordan… This piece/prank/art offers much inspiration. its grotesque, but enjoy.
