Tutti Frutti
 
1998   Reinforced tinted Hydrocal  $800
model: Des

But when it dries out, the color dulls. My experiments with sealers seemed to leave me choosing a yellowing finish or else a thick gloss. Edison Coatings supplied the finish seen.

This effect is achieved by mixing colors into small batches of Hydrocal and dashing them Jackson-Pollock-style into the mold, then laminating that thin layer with fiberglass mat and more H'cal for strength.
The piece is rubbed-in with more colored plaster once out of the mold, then wet-sanded until very slick.

Gallery 509 show.
