I’ve become Fascinated by the oxhide ingots and some discussions I had with a professor at Leeds university was to create “marker packs “that are educational for the public to do at home . This really appealed to me as my work is a blend off activities that often involve the communities I find my self in , and functional items , that combine to help me create new works.
I’m doing some tests in to making mini ox hide ingots which will act as the anode for electroplating if I go ahead with the maker packs.
I am using the shape of pre existing found ingots and replicating them First in wood and adding texture with a glue gun. I then create a silicone mould from this . This silicone mould will allow me To pour wax in to The void where the original was and make multiples .
