Boxes for Impossible shoes 2, 1.12.20
1.12.20 This was my first woodwork project with a particular purpose. My first impression is that wood is much easier to work with than steel, but it's obviously such a different material, that that seems like a ridiculous thing to say. Again, I enjoyed the physicality of making and learning how to use all the different tools.
I made 2 boxes, with Glenn's help, and it felt very satisfying. These will be used as moulds for my second pair of concrete Impossible shoes. I am casting wax feet in the sculpture workshop which will be placed in the boxes and then they'll have concrete poured around them. Finally, the wax will be melted out, leaving perfect, hidden negatives of my feet inside 2 concrete blocks.
