This was the first time that my friend, John Gonzalez, introduced me to the use of a material called alginate that is used to make molds of the human body. These hypoallergenic alginates start as a liquid and then set up to a wet but rubbery consistency. The mold that cast my new son's hand was made by immersion. A small container was filled with a liquid alginate, into which my sleeping son's hand was immersed. Within a few minutes the alginate had set, and my son's hand removed from the mold. Plaster of Paris was then poured into the mold to create the cast. Notice the faithfulness of these two materials to the human form. The alginate and then the plaster were able to render enormous detail: wrinkles, pores, fingerprints. Great fun. Thanks John.
