Name:<\/strong> Judith Modrak<\/a><\/p>\n

Which came first in your life, the science or the art?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Art and science were fairly intertwined in the sense of a curiosity about the natural world and a desire to record my experience in the form of artistic expression. Both tendencies appeared at a very young age and constitute my earliest, fondest memories. One early memory around the age of five summons both tendencies when I witnessed the birth of kittens and then later documented this miraculous event in the form of a crayon drawing.<\/p>\n

Which sciences relate to your art practice?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Neuroscience, psychology, biology, botany, genetics, geology, and anthropology.<\/p>\n

What materials do you use to create your artworks?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I use a number of different materials in my art practice, including plaster cast, resin, bronze, and most recently fibreglass cast resin. Regardless of the ultimate cast form, all sculptures follow a similar initial process from rough sketch to wire armature to clay model to rubber mold to the ultimate resin\/bronze\/plaster or fibreglass cast.<\/p>\n
