SCULPTING WITH PAPIER MACHÊ

I HAVE BEEN SCULPTING WITH PAPIER MACHÊ FOR 14 YEARS.
MY INTEREST IN RECYCLING USED PAPERS,AS CARDBOARD BOXES,EGG BOXES,PAPERS THAT WOULD BE THROWN AWAY, DOING MY PART IN RECYCLING FOR THE PLANET.I ONLY MIX THE PAPERS WITH PVA GLUE, NOT USING FLOUR.
MY SCULPTURES ARE SOLID PAPER
THERE HAS TO BE SOME PATIENCE IN THE DRYING PROCESS THAT TAKES AROUND 6 TO 9 MONTHS, DEPENDING ON THE SCULTURE.
I THINK THE RESULTS PAY OFF !!

PEIXE BOI , MANATEE


PEIXE BOI
MANATEE

SOLID CARDBOARD PAPER
ACRILIC PAINT

THE SCULPTURE IS FREE ON THIS BASE
HE CAN REST ON A TABLE,
IN MANY DIFFERENT POSITIONS














 
IN 1560 JESUIT PRIEST JOSÉ DE ANCHIETA FIRST SAW A MANATEE,
KNOWN IN BRAZIL AS '' PEIXE BOI '',
SURPRISED, HE COMPARED HIM TO AN ELEPHANT,
TODAY SCIENCE KNOWS THEY SHARE THE SAME ANCESTORS.
 THE PEIXE BOI IS A HIGH RISK ENDANGERED SPECIES,
THEY ARE GENTLE, CALM, AND GRAZE LIKE CATTLE,

THIS SCULPTURE MEASURING 53 cm in LENGHT.
