Boob Job = It works for Bottom as well !
This wire-mesh sculpture is called Nike after the Nike of Samothraki hence she got no
head, and the wings which are going to be mounted on its vertical shafts (and flaps !),
haven’t been finished yet. As this figure has been hanged from the ceiling nearly
10 years, visitors include the builders who came to fit the windows, wondered how
I made this. —– I always made a joke it was done by Shiatsu = just push by fingers = the
more I push, her boob grow larger and larger. 😀
Wire mesh is not a soft iron. Rather hard to shape by the finger alone though, as this flat
is just for ordinary residents, I can’t make a noise by hammering.
So that, what I invented was [Boob Enhancer] = place a wire-mesh between the caps or
small bowl and give a strong pressure to form a cup. It worked amazingly well. 😀
For this purpose, I bought many different size of cups — large one can be used to shape
the bottoms as well. (I haven’t figured out which one is human equivalent of D-cup yet. :-))
Original tool was a kind of DIY cramp, but it was used reverse direction = instead to push,
the bar is pulling, hence pulling the wire-mesh inward or to see from out-side, a boob was
pulled out from the flat chest. = Therefore it is literally Boob Enhancer. 😀

As I wrote in the post Supponpon (Aluminum panel sculpture), to design and to have
appropriate tool is essential, especially if it was for a totally new kind of technique.
And to conceive the idea to design, open-eyed free thinking is the must.
Cramp was already there and most of the work has been done by the manufacturer, hence
a small modification was what all I needed.
—– without this tool, my wire-mesh sculpture couldn’t be the same.
