Masking Tape Shoes (Final Post)

Progress and Final Product of the Masking Tape Shoes project

Progress on the left shoe, forming the toe out of the short-walled base.

Body of the right shoe, before details, siding, tongue, lace-holes, or sole

Side and back detail to be attached to both shoes in the final stages

Artist's Statement: In creating these masking tape sculptures, my primary goal was the faithful

and accurate replication of my pair of shoes, which would be detailed and coherent.  Though I fell short of this goal in some respects, such as the unfinished soles, lack of laces, and slight dissimilarity of the two shoes, the finished product is still decent in its own right.
