Unfired porcelain. The hooves are hollow. I pour the porcelain into the cast then remove it after 20 minutes. Then leave the cast to dry. However a lot of the casts have broken at the joint between the hoof and the knob.
Drawing of what I want to do with the deer hoof cast.
Here is a study of a sculpture in Gents Fine Arts museum . It is by Auguste Leveque and is entitled Fall of Sodom. I really liked how the figures merge into the sculpture, creating a sinking feeling. This is what I also admire about Rachel Kneebones work.
