Her work is absolutely gorgeous and I love that she caters to both men and women. If you search for ceramic corsets, her name is the only one that pops up.
But there are a few issues I have with ceramic corsets.
Issues:
~Kilns are expensive and large.
~Ceramics break too easy and I am far too clumsy.
~The ideas I have would be too heavy to be done in ceramics.
~Plus it has been done in ceramics before. We experiment and I do not want to take away from Nichole Moan's amazing work.
The piece shown will be a combination of Apoxie Clay and liquid latex. This is actually the simplest of all the designs I have had for a ridged corset based around natural forms. The drift wood concept will be very complex and hopefully very beautiful. The piece above laces in the front using latex bands that wrap around the back and move to the front.
The third picture is the first attempt made a few years ago out of oil based clay. This attempt was to be sculpted and then cast in liquid latex. Sadly, there was a strong winter and the clay froze and fell off the form. The clay is still in a bag, but my method is being refined.
