Did a lot of resin pouring over the past month. Learned a lot and cried a lot. It is the absolute bane of my existence. The physical positions that this requires hits everything on my no-no list for daily existence in this body. In fact I cant even begin to describe the endless ravine of plight that is the intersection of nerve pain and delicate finicky runny piles of fucking glue. Why did I decide to embark on this? Why am I so extra? I could have just slapped these bad boys into some frames. Other, able-bodied people make this decision just fine every day and still feel like they’re doing enough.
I put almost 100 hours into mounting and pouring two pieces to be exhibited at Nude Nite 2024 in Tampa FL next month. I’m super proud of myself for so many parts of what this has turned out to be. Including the resin. More about this later when it feels more real.
Also I am taxidermying some American Robins that smashed into my neighbor’s window a few weeks ago. 4 birds in total. It was some sort of freak incident that made me very sad but I’m glad to be able to honor them and preserve their bodies as specimens for science and for art. American Robins are really lovely and there is no other bird quite like them.
Also potential copper sulfate crystal growing for more resin mounts because I had big plans before I realized how much this beast might not actually be for me :( But there are other, less-fun sealants out there that will probably get me just as high as long as I’m not wearing my workshop outfit: fully nude + latex gloves + respirator.

To add, I think this is a great exercise in relinquishing control. The resin pours require you to step back at some point and let it be what it do. I… cannot very easily let things be how they do.
