bras for a cause

Lately, I have been working on my own art, something I have not done in a long time and it feels gooooooooood.

I am working on a peice to submit to a show called ‘Bras for a Cause’ - a breast cancer fundraiser taking place in Port Perry at my moms art gallery -Meta4. Peice are submitted to the jury and will be auctioned off to raise money. I am working with wax, one of my favorite mediums. In the past I have cast wax primarily, but this time I actually painted it onto myself wearing an old bra, and when it was thick enough and hard enough I was able to take it off and peel the old bra off, leaving me with two slid wax cups. At the moment they are red and bland, but i am enjoying the process and now that I have the basic structure and shape, i get to play around with attaching, decorating and actually building the bra. I’ll post pictures when its done!
