Detail of Totem by william Dennis
The Cheshire Cat, The Totem was moddelled in clay then waste moulded in plaster,the moulds were opened and the clay cleaned out ,a release agent was applied to the plaster mould,then a double Gel coat before the glass mat was applied,when all had set hard the job of chipping away the plaster mould began (hence waste mould) When the cast was cleaned and all traces of the release agent was removed I could start painting the various relief sculptures,and apply the letters (prepainted)and the pages of the story,I had modelled Alice and the cat and cast them in fibreglass earlier so it was just a case of painting and assembling,
