Blind Sculpting by dexter in question

April 30th, 2007 6:46 AM

INSTRUCTIONS: Inspired by the Seeing Beyond Sight Photo Challenge, continue to create art in a state of disrupted senses:

1. Choose a medium.

2. Blindfold yourself.

3. Create a sculpture of something you sense while blindfolded.

4. Give the sculpture to a stranger, gallery, or museum. If a stranger, ask them to title it.

5. Document as you go.

So, a quick trip to the store reveals the cheapest and most disgusting medium possible - Lard! For 39 pence, it's the least expensive pliable item I could find. I an home, got a bowl of cold water and put on a beanie over my face and scraped my way through the lard using a spoon and my fingers. My image was of two faces, the outer and inner image. First person to name it gets the dedication as well.

The future is most definitely in Lard.

However you have not fully completed the task dear Dexter!
Get out there and give it to a stranger!

I would have guessed the COmedy and Tragedy theater masks, but outer and inner?
Hmm...

I can see the theatre masks, but perhaps because I am a drama student I decided not to go there. LOL!

Oddly the one without a mouth looks like comedy to me. Oh time for some self analysis...

I have to say a large part of my vote comes from the fact that I heard of your completion via the grapevine.. "Hes gone home to play with some lard apparently"

What did you do with all that lard afterwards?

Alas, my flatmate threw them away soon after - but my plan was to put them on the garage roof and see them rot away.

You wouldn't have had long enough in this country to witness that, lard is practically indestructible! Back when we were in the first year at Uni, some kids threw a tub of Sainsbury's own economy low fat spread at the kitchen window of my boyfriends Halls of residence and it stuck there. The kitchen was on the third floor (pretty good shot those kids) so there was no way to get it off from outside, the whole tub was welded to the glass where it struck.
It stayed there for almost a whole year without degrading, slowly turning grey around the edges from pollution, until one day, about a fortnight before everyone moved out, the tub finally fell off leaving just a yellow smear for us to remember it by. I have a photo somewhere on my PC, but it's kaput : (

fond memories...
