I wasn't sure about the white and gold combination of the previous laster sculpture- it felt a bit sterile and maybe referential of something that I didn't intend. The grey feels more stone-like, older, less modern, but is still made from a modern material with its own cultural referencing. The stone colour of the plaster even looks heavier. I carved the drawings in and painted using a barely pink white. I like the idea of collaging together a selection of portraits onto a scenic drawing. If I get to continue with the plaster sculptures I will do so in grey instead of white. The Corona Virus jeopardizes my ability to make sculptures using plaster- I can't work with it at home. I have a cough so I am self isolating for the next seven days which means that even with the workshop being open I can't make work in that way right now.
