About BadMaxhead
The skull is formed using a one-off latex mold, into which concrete is poured and left for 48hrs.
After de-molding, the skull is sealed with several layers of primer paint. A process of layering acrylic paint using sponges and rags is then applied to the skull to obtain the desired effect. Further paint detailing is then done to finish the skull.
The painted skull is then mounted onto a base; in this case a hardwood base with a bicycle seat post has been used.
The process of welding parts around the skull is then done to create the metal exoskeleton.
For BadMaxhead, bicycle chains were used to form the mask from which further parts could be welded to. Other parts used in this piece include trampoline springs, old threaded coach bolts, galvanised chain, and bicycle front chainrings.
A final spray of clear lacquer finishes off the piece.
