the skins of Brodowice

My grandparents farm in Brodowice, Poland.
The latex castings were taken on multiple surfaces of farm equipment, trees and buildings in the village.

In the first photo, that is yours truly (Aleksandra) taking a casting of a young tree in the park across from my grandparents farm. In the background is the palace.

Below, I am taking a latex cast of the wagon I helped my grandfather build five years ago. Today the wood is rotten and the steel has eroded.

Latex hanging to dry. The casts were taken outside and the weather is very wet and cold. Left overnight, the latex was unable to dry in the cold and remained opaque. Once I had placed them in a warm environment, the skins began to harden.
