T4TM (Theseus4TheMinotaur)
lost wax cast bronze, patina & paste wax
2023
(process photos & info under cut <3)
my minotaur boy!! pls click on the photos for higher res! my thesis is focusing on trans men and creatures (how original ik) and this was last semester's final. i spent a lot of time looking at sculptures of the theseus/minotaur story, and yknow? a LOT of them are erotic! i'm pretty sure i saw some of them on tumblr a decade ago, and that's led to this now!
as you'll notice, the minotaur has a big t-dick! i wanted to give him breasts and an enlarged clitoris to present a very masculine trans figure. the boy on the bottom is also trans because i say so . the piece is about looking up to older, bigger, hairier trans men and seeing something awe-inspiring and beautiful. the minotaur was locked up by a cruel father for being different, and i think modern adaptations tend towards a sympathetic asterion (his name in one version)
making this piece was. so much effort. it took me about 3 months to get it all together - from clay model (plasticine) to 3D print to silicone mold to wax cast, and finally bronze pour into the shell mold. and then a TON of filing, sanding, dremel-ing, and various other metalworking techniques that probably took years off my life.
i started with sketches and made theeeeeee ugliest model ever:
Tumblr media
then used a 3D scanner to get it digital, then spent a goooood month or two making him pretty in blender! then i spent an agonizing few weeks trying to get it print-ready, and fiiiiiinally did
Tumblr media
^^^ an early resin printed draft of the model - you can see in the final that i added lots to theseus after some feedback, but sadly the nosering broke off every time i cast it so i just. let that be <3
then came the moldmaking, and then the wax dipping!! the yellow stuff is shell mold (ground up ceramic bits and algae soup, sticks to the wax, then silica sand in varying sizes on top) which gets the wax melted out, and bronze poured in!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
then it's all metalworking, cutting stuff off, and working with hot metal. they don't tell you about all the bronze dust and how annoying it gets wearing a respirator AND goggles. but it is for me health, me boy. here's him all cleaned up before the patina:
Tumblr media
and then i spray him down with various chemicals to make it "patina" (aka rust) in pretty colors. wait a few days, then apply paste wax to seal it and give it that shine!
then we get what you see above!!! the blue was actually unintentional, and i'm still not super sure why it looks that way.. but it's pretty so idc <3
thanks for reading!! if you ever have any bronze/casting questions, don't hesitate to message me! <3

Heya! I'm the one who bought the welcome change tile! I got the notice of sale and just had to get it, it's such a beautiful piece and encompasses so many of the feelings I have being on T (I love being big and hairy it's incredible)
He's set up in a corner of my room with a few of my old vials, I don't do injections anymore but I felt it was fitting to put them together either way! Thank you very much for the incredible art, he'll be cherished for a long time!
Tumblr media
Ahhhh what a beautiful and perfect display setup 💚💚💚 literally nothing gives me more joy than knowing my art made for trans folks is in a happy trans home!! Thank you so much for buying this fella!

BIG NEWS!! I'm moving!
My housemates and I are migrating onward to Illinois! The best part...I will have a large home studio so I can start working on ceramics full time!
Tumblr media
Here's where y'all come in. The last piece of my puzzle is a kiln. To gather funds, I will be dropping these two thesis pieces & lowering prices on Everything Else in my shop on 4/19. Pretty sweet.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
While we are working on renovating the studio, I will switch my focus to selling stickers, photo prints, linocut prints, etc. I hope that I will be back to working with clay by the end of summer!
My housemates are transmasc like me, and all of us love Missouri. Unfortunately, it is one of the states pushing hard to pass anti-trans laws, so we are leaving for Illinois. I can't wait to see what I can make with a proper home studio and hope y'all are excited too.
The support y'all have given me and my work goes beyond words, I am so grateful for anyone able to help us out, even just by sharing this post :)
If you would like to toss a buck my way, here's my kofi.
Tumblr media
<3 Luke
