materials: plastic, acrylic paint, acrylic, resin, metal

process: Big Wheel Tricycle hand sliced laid out on hand cut layered acrylic sheets. Black acrylic paint fully encasing cut acrylic sheet. Epoxy resin is than layered on in intervals of 8 hours to create a dripping forms. Every 10 hours the resin is heated with a butane torch to create spotting and smooth liquid puddle texture. Form is than fully encased in epoxy resin. A layer of red acrylic paint is laid surrounding the base and than epoxy resin. Once first layer of resin is cured, a second layer mixture of red acrylic paint and epoxy resin is applied. Finally the form is fully encased in a uniform final layer of epoxy resin.

materials: Nike Air Force 1’s, Epoxy Resin, Steel rod, Steel Plate, Steel screws, Steel wire, Wood

Proces

process: wood is carved and sanded into the front portion of a shoe horn. Steel rod is curved and welded onto a 2”x3” steel plate and attached to carved wooden point to create a shoehorn. 3 pilot holes are drilled into steel plate. Shoe horn is than placed inside the shoe and screwed in creating a bend. Shoes are than tied together and hung on a pole while thin layers of epoxy resin is applied until the form is fully encased. New thin layer of epoxy resin is applied every 8 hours. Until droplets are formed under the sole of the shoes. Laces are soaked in resin incrementally every 10 hours, after each portion is applied the lace is bent to a new angle until fully encased. Final layer of resin is applied to the shoes to fully encase the form uniformly.

materials: epoxy resin, subway sandwich

process: All innards of sandwich are removed and sun dried for 30 minutes. Tomatoes, meat, & cheese are are laid out in individual rows. Once in form they are fully encased in resin. The bread is than propped open and encased in two thin layers of epoxy resin. After curing, the tomatoes, meat, and cheese are stacked inside the bread and resin is applied as a glue and spacer to create depth.

materials: Moon Shoe’s, Epoxy Resin, Steel wire

Proces

process: Moon Shoe’s exterior are sanded down to create a light texture for grip. Shoes are than tied together and hung on a pole while thin layers of epoxy resin is applied until the form is fully encased. New thin layer of epoxy resin is applied every 8 hours. Until droplets are formed under the sole of the shoes. Every 6 hours a butane torch is used to eliminate air bubbles and pooling of resin to create a wet look. Final layer of resin is applied to the shoes to fully encase the form uniformly.
