Plaster Bandages

Seagal was the first to use plaster bandages (like the ones used to make casts) to make sculpture. He would wrap parts of the model's body in the bandages, let them harden and remove them. Once he had all the pieces he would put them back together with more plaster. He would let them keep their rough texture and usually keep them one solid color. He started out leaving them white but later on began painting them bold monochromatic colors or casting them in bronze.
