Head Cast

What

A model of my head.

IDEA

WASTED TIME

REVIVAL CHANCE

Why

I wanted a fibreglass model of my head.

When

June 2011.

Development & Progress

My girlfriend of the time applied it as I patiently at through it, hoping it would turn out okay. I had Vaseline on my eyebrows and straws to breathe through.I don’t seem to have taken photos of the casting part that went badly.

More gelatinate with straws for breathing.

The orange ribbed section was from some roadworks in Barnsley.

The gel part goes purple on setting. It was less than perfect.

Reason for Abandonment

The fibreglass or just the resin was horrible and for some reason I abandoned it and made the rest of the cast with concrete. Consequently, I ended up with a weird fucked up hybrid that was utterly useless.

Chances of Revival

Very slim. It would still be cool to have a model of my head, but for no particular reason.

Legacy

The head cast sits in my front garden slowly deteriorating, looking weird and creepy.

Regret

Not an awful lot.
