Slip cast results of children for 'Not bathing but drowning' sculpture (working title)

I slipcast a couple of different factory moulds as tests. I'm leaning towards the first one aesthetically.

I will work them more after the holidays, adding a domed slab to the top and neatening the skin surface. For now I've spritzed and bagged them so they don't dry out.

I think that I'd like the end piece in porcelain. 

I like the idea of the whole piece being white, as a reference to the innocence of the children inheriting the poison chalice of our current anticipated future. 

It also references white colonialism, which I consider to be one of the foundations or capitalism.

Thinking about it more, I like the idea of the head being submerged in a traditional white Victorian wash stand basin. Using such a found object is reminiscent industrial revolution into the frame, which is what really ramped up colonial capitalism and made the current climate crisis possible.

I will search for such a bowl. As before, I also have the option to commission one from a ceramicist.
