‘WARPED MINDLINES’ - Chessboard

This chess board I created includes 28 resin peices and 4 pewter peices. The resin peices were made in a reusable mould and the pewter peices where poured into a silcone mould.  I wanted to make peices from old toys I had found in my room, It was fun to curate which characters would be what. The peices include ‘Digimon’ that I copied into resin figures for both black and white teams. The Queen is actually a peice of ginger that I moulded in silicone and then poured pewter into. I thought it would be interesting to make the only female peice on the board a real natural object, a ‘root’ to suggest that the male mind is childish and that the female peice grounds the subjects which makes sense because it is the most powerful peice on the board.
