REPLICATED/REMEDIATED: MOLD POSITIVES & MATCH PLATE

Last Supper 2023

Medium: Optimistic Students, Instructor, Acrylic, Plaster, Tape

Site-Specific Performance

We reached the end to this project and were building plaster mould's and finally some traumatic experiences with slip casting and lots of waiting.

Good soup <3

We agitate plaster in water to facilitate an exothermic reaction that would lead into it solidifying. Its a great experience like making chowder or adding starch into boiling water except the water is freezing.

Finishing this plaster mould.

Before slip casting ensure that the mould plates are fully dry, once that is complete start pouring up to the rim and wait for the clay to precipitate.

On the first try the clay did form around the plaster, mine but did not really dry but the first once is always discarded to clear out any impurities like petroleum jelly and dirt. It wasn't really clear how long we were supposed to wait and it was a lot trial and error. Some of the actual ceramic students mentioned that slip should've dried around 45mins but still be pliable.

But on the third try.........

I managed to get a proper form and the patterns just look so cool on the object.

Drying time

Final Result on its Leather with some minimal retouching.

PO1 : Final Installation

Black River Media Installation Audio & Video Sculpture Black River is a media installation exploring displacement and the longing for a deep connection towards a kind of homeland. At its center is an Inflatable Crocodile—a puppet trapped in an unending karaoke performance, forever singing a song about its life. Though it has no voice, its presence suggests an eternal loop of longing, echoing unheard stories of loss. The work humanizes this fictional creature, evoking empathy and prompting reflection on our own connections to land. It investigates shifting ecological baselines—the way in which each living generation perceives nature’s decline as their “normal.” As ecosystems collapse, what we consider natural keeps shifting, obscuring what we’ve lost. Within this narrative , the crocodile longs for its polluted homeland and to be with other mutated crocodiles. Dwelling in a post-climate apocalypse where remnants of human industries remain and pollution becoming our final lega...
