Casting wax feet for Impossible shoes 2, 8.12.20 -
8.12.20 My plan is to make a second pair of Impossible shoes, cast in concrete again, but this time I want them to give the semblance of being wearable. Having discussed this idea with Gareth, I made 2 wooden boxes in the Wood workshop. I am casting my feet in wax this time, then I'll pour concrete around the wax feet inside the boxes ... and finally, hopefully, melt the wax out of the mould. I should be left with perfect negatives of my feet hidden inside two blocks of concrete.
This is a rather conceptual project as these perfect feet will be completely unseen!

Sketch of the plan for the mould for Impossible shoes 2
4.1.21 I had hoped to finish these Impossible shoes before Christmas but unfortunately my car broke down and then I discovered that the Uni was closed to students anyway. It will still all be there once the University opens again after this latest lockdown.
