The Butchers meat hook project

June 20, 2010

My latest project is finally moving towards completion.

For this piece i have made a alginate mold using my own head as model. I will insert a brain made of glass and pour water into it before it goes into the freezer. When the head is frozen and solid it will hang on a butchers meat hook.

I have not found out where i want to, or can display this piece, so for now i have only added photos from the process of making it. When it is finished, displayed and hopefully melted away i will post another photogallery or even a video of the piece completing itself.

In the meantime have a look at the work in progress! TO THE GALLERY

Wiki:DidYouKnow – A meat hook is a two-sided hook normally used in butcheries to hang up meat or the carcasses of animals such as pigs and cattle on a moving conveyor line. There are many types of hooks, but meat hooks is the only one used in butchering.
