The high fluid rate of molten bronze allows a perfectly exact replica of the polystyrene ‘master’ to be cast. Because the master is sacrificed during the casting process, each subsequent bronze stool or chair I make requires me first to carve the form from a block of polystyrene, thus each bronze cast is unique.
