<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 326277, member: 5833"]The two are not mutually exclusive. We call bronze pieces sculpture, even though they have to be cast using a mold & multiples can be made. My immediate thought was that yours is molded. When I read Houseful's comments, differentiating between press molding v. slip casting, realized that press molding definitely looks like the technique used.</p><p><br /></p><p>I see the resemblance to some of the Holocaust memorial work, but don't quite get that feeling from your piece. My gestalt is that they represent, in stereotypical ways, people from different 'races', for lack of a better word, although not sure who the one with the distorted mouth would be. More like a theatrical mask, that one. One definitely looks African to me; guy with long beard could be meant for Asian; woman with long hair, Native American. One or 2 others European. I see 5; is that all of them?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
