Allen Eckman creates cast paper sculptures by first mixing acid-free paper pulp and casting it into molds made from his original clay sculptures. The pulp is pressed under vacuum pressure in the molds to extract water while taking the shape of the mold, then dried while still inside. After removing the dry casts from the molds, Eckman adds details and alterations through additional casting, paper sculpting, and chasing.

Cast paper sculpture has been in existence since the
1950’s. It should not be confused with papier-mâché, as the two mediums are completely different .
To create his cast paper sculptures, Allen Eckman first
mixes an acid-free paper pulp in the studio hydro- pulper from two raw stocks—cotton and abica. Then the pulp is cast into molds which Allen makes from original clay sculptures. The paper is then pressed under vacuum pressure in the mold where most of the water is extracted at the same time. The drying process is completed by evaporation while the paper is still in the mold. After the dry and hard casts are removed from the molds the exclusive process of chasing cast additions, cast alterations, sculpting in paper and detailing begins For more info visit there official site: Eckmanfineart.
