Description of the Artwork “Self Portrait - Lips and Chin”
Cast from an adult male mouth. Set on stainless steel rod into a piece of yellowheart hardwood (native to my area in Japan). Each item is one of a kind. I destroy the mold during the process and only a single cast is made. *Shipping from Japan is included in the price. *Can be made to order, various male / female available.
Robert Nelson, Japan
Robert is a materialistic American artist working in Japan. He seeks to create mood in an object. He is a pre-packaged product of a human being, and is generally unremarkable. Robert’s work is composed primarily of lifecasts which are plaster cast, and painted. Objects are attached to various base materials. Bases are either found objects reworked or bought locally and used. Fusion of organic and inorganic is a recurring theme. Robert has a social phobia, and tends to find both nature and people to be unsettling and threatening. He started this iteration of work as display objects for boutique jewelry and accessories. It has since branched out.
