David's lifecast was made in much the same way as Victoria's. I didn't take
photos of that process, but if you want, use the photos of Victoria and
imagine it's David's head peeking out of the garbage bag instead of Victoria's.
And despite the fact that he'd seen Victoria escape unscathed, David wasn't
any more comfortable with the process than she was.
So imagine that David has the same worried expression on his face that
Victoria had, and you've got the complete picture.
Once David's lifecast was done it was time to start working on his bust.
As some of you may know,
I'm a programmer by trade. Programmers are a type of
engineer, and engineers like to reuse existing components if possible.
So I used Victoria's sculpture as a base when I began David's.
I started by removing the front portion of the sculpture, which I then
replaced with a clay positive of David's face. As with the first
sculpture, this positive was made by pressing clay into the silicone negative
made from the original lifecast.
