Sculpture Development

I initially wanted to transform these body cast sculptures into unique objects which could even be used, such as a vase or even ceramic/ plaster bowls. However as I am trying to portray middle age women’s natural beauty, I thought by turning the body parts into something they are not, would take the concept away from my project of wanting the women to see themselves exactly how they look and how other people see them.
 
Below are the plaster body sculptures after a day of sanding.
 



I felt the body sculptures looked untidy and as I wanted them to have a beautiful smooth gloss finish, I decided to sand them some more with an electric sander.
To varnish all four of the varied body parts, I used 2 coats of a white gloss spray paint which gave each of the sculptures a finished look.
