Wk 13, 3rd of May, 2024 Studio Work development

Mould making

Ashley Singer, Camellia and Feijoa casts and moulds, clay, plaster, garden soil, casts: 5cm x 5cm x 4cm, moulds: 10cm x 10cm x 4cm

Making my own moulds was something I really wanted to try so I could use plaster and clay mixed together, which was something I felt was too sticky to place into my silicone moulds from regal castings (used for casting my bronze Dutch iris bulbs and my lily bud).

This was a great opportunity to be a bit loose with form (something that I had been more rigid with prior), and make collections of camellia buds picked from the neighbours large flowering camellia tree and also from the rare fejoa variety my other neighbour had growing over the fence. Using the organic matter, I pressed the unopened buds and a fejoa into the mould I made out of a mixture of plaster and porcelain clay. After that set I was able to press into the mould pieces of my mix of clay based soil from my garden, porcelain and plaster.

On the right are two of the moulds and the left are the casts drying in a box in my studio.

A trip out and about, field work in Monte Cecilia park Auckland, looking at new blooms that have emerged now that it’s spring. Pictured is a Fejoa tree with some lovely flowering areas as well as the beggining of fruit growth (see image 2). Flowering and fruiting are all part of seasonal and climate records that a plant tracks showing us when looking and documenting the result of phenology changing across the year.

DAY 3 (EVERYDAY PHOTOGRAPH)

07/04

My mum loves to make the table look nice on holidays or events just to make everyday life a little more interesting sometimes. And then are some bowls of fejoas my Nana came down and gave us.

[gayhenrycreel]

the main part is just egg white and huge amounts of sugar, so its very sweet but also foamy. the cream is just cream. you can add fruit on top. people usually use blueberries, strawberries, or fejoa slices.

you can find recipes online. (btw dont listen to aussie sources about the origin of pavlova. it belongs to Aotearoa and weve been fighting over it for decades)

I'll attempt to bake an apple pie today✌️

I’ve been experimenting with fermenting fejoa skins into a fizzy drink. I have no idea if it’ll work, especially since everything coming into the house has been washed a lot more than usual.

Soaked the skins for three days in water with a tablespoon of sugar, then strained them out today. They’ll need to sit for another few days with some more sugar and then I guess we’ll see if it worked :)

Going to miss those bowls. (at New Zealand)

Feijoas are fruiting!!!!

[asin201masters]

Painting the large magnolia work (on the left) took a lot of layers so it’s still in development, then in the similar toned paint and with plaster I made some casts of the inside of the fejoas because both magnolia and fejoa are prevelant this time of year (early autumn)

I'm curious about sour hard candies bc i don't think we have them here... usually it's sour gummies or maybe lil chewing gums who were sour at the beginning (god we always used to get them at school for pennies)

i LOVE hard candy every year i go to the local (only) con in our country and every year theres a big stall made by people who make hard candies and they have handmade MASSIVE lollipops and rows of all these chopped up hard candies that come in bags and flavours like butterscotch or watermelon or fejoa and this year i got the sour pack instead of the sweet and sour pack and i identified which colour was the most sour and it was VERY sour and WAY too sour for me and instead of throwing those ones away i was like "i shouldnt waste food i should get this over with" so i picked them all put and put them all in my mouth at once and they took so long to disappear i got acid burns all over the inside of my mouth

These are the two most successful leaf litter moulds, they are done in plaster because I wanted a heavier material feel and larger scale and they have prints of stones, soil flakes and fejoa leaves and camellia petals.
