Sand Casting

freshly opened mold

A polystyrene model is buried in casting sand. During the casting process the liquid aluminum burns the polystyrene away and replaces its position. The result is a same looking model but with different physical attributes. This work was shown on the DDW 2010 by Beeldenstorm.
