Kat-Plaster Project "Light on the Weight"

I chose to cast a ten pound hand weight which after cast became one pound, eight point three ounces: a reevaluation and allusion of the meaning of weight. The weight was a bit difficult to cast due to my lack of previous experience with casting. I learned a lot about plaster and its drying properties, the quickness of its drying once it decides to set.
 I painted the weights with a "heavy color", the red making it appear even heavier and stacked the two weights as you frequently see them placed in the gym in the midst of a workout by a particular person. The stacking usually represents "these are being used" and cannot be pilfered for another's workout.
