The mold-making and casting process is interesting, as it creates a kind of 3-dimensional &#8220;print&#8221; of an object&#8211;no, not rapid prototyping, but a dimensional print created by hand. The idea for sticks stems from my childhood experiences with being bullied. This is certainly simple enough, but I think also about how this seeps into one&#8217;s adulthood in more subtle ways through the manipulation of words. I am interested in these sticks as representative of a kind of language, and am excited to see the effects of light and shadow when I suspend them, place them on a wall, project onto them, etc. in order to create a unique feeling. See the video below for a look into the casting process with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"ARTStuff Studio Vlog 1 : Sticks and Stuff\" width=\"576\" height=\"324\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aG6pNZbXv9k?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Painters also sculpt! This week, take look into the plastic casting process with me. &#8220;Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me,&#8221; is an old adage and idiom used in response to verbal abuse of all kinds. My creative work explores ideas of personal struggle and the value of &#8220;things&#8221;. Lately I have been casting sticks for an idea that I have to produce an installation piece that may go on the wall or suspend from above. To begin, I am creating sculptural \u201cprints\u201d that will fill a space and create unique shadows. Check it out!
