Life & Death Casts

I love hands. Hands that work, hands that make, hands that perform, hands that heal. They tell the story of life.

Capturing hands in bronze can retell and share that unique story forever.

Hands can be cast from life (or as in a death mask, after death).

The casting is a careful and skilful procedure.

A mould is created in a soft water-based rubber which sets in under 3 minutes.
This gives an immaculate print with each tiny detail being captured.

From the mould a bronze is cast in the same way as casting a traditional sculpture via the lost-wax process. Each wax is further finished to ensure an exact replica is achieved.

The bronze is patinated (coloured) to any of the similar finishes for sculpture, ranging from warm brown, dark brown to green.

Each edition is numbered and the museum-quality bronze is mounted on a marble or wooden plinth.
