My final project for college was a design & fabrication of the ‘Gluck’ creature from Philip K. Dick’s ‘The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch.’
Fabrication on this piece began with a clay sculpt which was moulded in fiber-glass before being cast in silicone.
A core was produced from the mould. This core provides the mounting points for moving parts as well as acting as the skull of the gluck creature.
The finished creature was housed in a trap for display. The trap was built from plywood and hardboard. The mandibles and head crest are cast resin.
