Zed The Head(dress) – China Cutting the foam using the Frog Mill at Streamline Industries
Image by Kentrosaurus
A different work-flow for a Whitewater thematic sculpture I undertook as a proof-of-concept. I sculpted a maquette in reduced scale using Sculpey, with one half being all needed. This was sent to Calgary for 3D laser scanning and CNC foam carving at the Streamline China company. They shipped us the full-size (26" high) computer-cut head and I bonded this to the feather headdress I built in styrofoam and carved the old-timey way using hot wires and knives.
The name is a riff on a superb piece of dialogue written for the ‘Butch arrives on Zed’s chopper’ scene by Quentin Tarantino for his brilliant film ‘Pulp Fiction’:
"Who is that?"
"That’s Zed, baby."
"Where is the rest of Zed?"
"That’s all there is. Zed’s just a head, baby. Zed’s just a head."
