WHALE SCULPTURE PROCESS - Foam, Fiberglass and Resin Art Installation at the Andaz Maui Resort

This whale sculpture by Welzie was created for the Andaz Artist in Residence program. Here is what the process looked like from start to finish, well not including the making of the fiberglass molds in which the whale foam blanks were made. The process includes shaping basic whale shapes, big and small, then fiberglassing it and making a male mold from it. Next we fiberglassed a female mold off the Male.Then used pour foam to create a basic foam blank to shape the whale body. All the whale fins were cut, shaped, formed and fiberglassed to fit each whale. The Whales were then all Laminated with fiberglass and white pigment before they were painted with resin by welzie. Next the whales were "Hot Coated" coated again with clear resin which gets sanded before getting another clear layer of resin called the "Gloss Coat" finally the whales are polished out to a fine glossy shine. Welzie and his team built a hanging area to practice hanging the whale sculptures and placing them just right. After months of work the Welzie team installed the piece for the Artist in Residence Program at the Andaz Resort Maui. What a big project!
