DescriptionIn the basement is a series of self-portraits. For many years, sophomore students in Ron Bennett's Introduction to Foundry class would mold their own faces through a process using wax, plaster, and finally aluminum to learn the technical aspects of casting. As a result, more sculptures were added annually until Bennett retired.
