I find this Very interesting and am wondering what I am seeing. Is this sculpted art or formed by heat and pressure or tension on a molded object? No matter it Is unique in my experience. Very well done Thank you for providing a pleasant experience on a boring night.
Always glad to provide a modicum of entertainment value.
For want of a better term, I call them 3-D mashups. I have a collection of thousands of clay molds I've made from toys and figurines, mostly faces, but other parts as well. Add molds of stones, shells and other natural items, blend with molds of manmade items like jewelry and anything and everything with an interesting texture, place them all on vertical file shelves and you have the crux of the thing. I'll mix various shades of clay together til I see the beginning of a face emerge, then I press partially into one of the molds, then follow up with another and another. Most have three or more partial pressings. The backs are filled and flattened and last they're given a wash of acrylic paint to bring out the detail.
And when we hit a rich pocket, everyone yells "EEEEEEEEWWWWW!!!!!!!"
