We just received our casting materials today from Smooth-On. The plan is to cast figures with either Fish or Pigs heads in order to represent the inhabitants relationship with the urban environment, the Pig being a symbol of blight. More pictures tomorrow when we collect a couple pigs heads from the Butcher at Cross Street Market in Fells Point.

In the meanwhile, here are some demonstrative videos on the casting products we just bought.

In order to integrate the print with the piece, we printed the portrait on a skin of plastic bags in a subdued blue. The face was layered in sewn and melted bags of varying colors to accentuate the tones of the face.

Install Sites

We have been thinking about doing an installation in Baltimore along the Jones Falls in addition to the final install in LA. We are shooting for an opening on Friday the 7th of November, there is still a lot to do, but it be good to hear some feedback about locations and if people would be interested in attending. Here are some photographs of the sites:
