I became interested in the idea of separation during this project. The assignment, to sculpt our foot, already separated the foot from the rest of our body. After brainstorming, I had the idea to split my foot in half and then connect the halves together using metal rods. To create a disconnected feeling between the humanness of a foot and the separation of it from the body, I covered the foot in marbled paper and coated the paper in gloss finish Mod Podge to achieve an artificial look.

The Foot

Realistically sculpt your own foot in clay. After firing, final application of glaze, color, etc. is left up to the artist.
