Method of making a sculpture

Abstract

A method and a piece of sculpture made with the method, begins by forming a first three-dimensional transparent member having a selected surface which is intended to become a visible embedded surface in the sculpture. Acrylic resin is preferred for the first member but other clear cast material can also be used. A film of water or alcohol soluble material, preferably PVA with or without additive and solvent, is sprayed onto the selected surface, preferably using an air brush. The film is allowed to dry and the first member with the film is placed in a mold having a cavity with a shape of the final sculpture product, the cavity having room for at least part of the first member, and a void corresponding to the shape of a second member. The selected surface is at least partly exposed to this void in the mold. The mold is then filled a transparent castable liquid material, which may also be acrylic resin, and the contents of the mold are cured to form the sculpture.
