ABHA
LEARNT HER CRAFT IN WOLLONGONG AROUND 15 YEARS AGO WHEN SHE STUDIED
WITH AN EGYPTIAN SCULPTOR, TARAK ELWAR.
THE MOST CHALLENGING, METICULOUS AND TIME CONSUMING PROCESS IS
THE ORIGINAL CARVING OF THE PLASTER SLAB, SOME OF THE LARGER PIECES
REPRESENT MONTHS OF WORK.
|
THE NEXT STEP IS TO MAKE
A LATEX MOLD OFF THE CARVED/SCULPTED ORIGINAL BY BRUSHING LIQUID LATEX
OVER THE PIECE AND LATER PEELING OFF THE FINISHED MASK.
SUBSEQUENTLY DUPLICATES CAN BE MADE BY POURING PLASTER INTO THE MOULDS.
THE COLORS ABHA USES ARE PARTLY INSPIRED FROM ORIGINALS BUT ALSO TO
A GREAT EXTENT HER FREE ARTISTIC EXPRESSION.
