MEMES
I’m really honored and excited to be participating in Gallery 1988′s 8th Anniversary show, Memes! I had a hard time narrowing down my ideas for this one, so I decided to do bunch of little pieces, showcasing some of my favorite memes.

Question: How do you go about sealing stuff in resin? Do you brush it on? Use a form and pour it? Some other mystery magic?
I’ve considered encasing things in poured resin, but have never gotten around to it, and am sure I’d probably ruin something (like my floor) if I ever tried…
It’s actually a 2-part solution that you mix together and pour onto a level piece. Then you smooth it, and blow torch out any bubbles. Took me a long time to get it right!
