In response to my initial research into Jamie North I wanted to explore ways of obtaining texture within the form by using carving techniques, this I did through casting a plaster form using the method I have discovered and distorting it through forcing and pressure. then carving into the surface using hand carving tools.
I wanted to do this to explore the juxtaposition of smooth and textured all within one form rather than having multiple forms and multiple materials. although I like this form I found the lack of control over the plaster once dried was challenging causing it to crack and chip.
