Remainders (Noosa) 2026 concept design · EXE25/0030

CREATION PHASE:


• The method I have developed for making spheres involves creating a negative of the sculpture within a large reinforced polycarbonate mould.
  Major aggregates are strategically placed within this mould, which largely determines the sculptural form of the finished sphere. Areas that are
  to become voids are blocked out with clay.


• A polymer concrete mix is poured into the finished polycarbonate mould, and allowed to cure. The cured form is then flipped from its inverted
  position and stripped of its mouldings, which involves the manual removal of clay and water blasting. Finally, the works are then detailed and
  sealed.
• Risks:
The nature of the casting process means there are potential risks in achieving the desired aesthetic outcome of the spheres. To mitigate this, I will
reserve spare polycarbonate moulds with my supplier in case they are needed.
