My research has brought me a step closer to finding out how
to proceed with manufacturing my sculptures. The three methods which I discovered
were “add on sculpture”, “reduction sculpture” and “bronze sculpture”. The “add
on sculpture” method requires one to create a base / platform and then add support
structures. The form is then simply filled
with a variation of mixed materials such as newspaper, tin, foil, aluminium etc.
The “reduction sculpture” method requires
one to create the basic form of their sculpture in wax or clay and then carve
out detail into the sculpture.
Lastly, the “bronze sculpture” method requires the full
process of the “reduction sculpture” method to be completed, prior to making a
mould out of the sculpture. From thereon,
the process is the same as the jewellery lost wax casting process.
In my opinion, the “bronze sculpture” method will prove to
be a long and costly process. The two
sculptures I plan on working with are the “reduction sculpture” and the “add on
sculpture”. Below are some of the
hyperlinks in which these simplified processes are demonstrated.
