Some artwork for a future book and show: THE ANCIENT BOOK OF SEX & SCIENCE. I'm doing some small 3D pieces and paintings, the idea being that these (below) could be art or relics from an ancient Martian civilization.
MARTIAN SCULPTURE
15" tall
foam core/hot glue/modeling paste/acrylic/gouache
MARTIAN CARVINGS 01 & 02
9" X 12" X 1"
balsa foam/acrylic/gouache
These are insect studies from a previous post and an upcoming bug-themed show. But here, they have also worked as ancient Martian hieroglyphics.
STEP BY STEP
Build up of Light Molding Paste. Lays down like whipped cream, dries semi-hard and very light in weight.
Course Pumice Gel was applied over the dried paste (to add more grit/rust). Then, the piece was painted with acrylic and gouache.
