SOFT ROBOTICS – SILICONE MOLD

I’m interested in exploring breathing texture where the top is the only part that inflates so decided to do a flat piece with this in mind. I poured the first layer of silicone thicker to achieve this effect. I cut out cardboard shapes in an abstract pattern and laid them on top of the first layer of silicone to achieve this.  I then sprayed the over the first layer of silicone and cardboard with nonstick spray. I then poured the 2nd layer, the places where you see the green shapes adhered and the negative space around it created an air channel. 

I left a pathway for air channel but when I cut it open I cut too deep, but it’s still able to inflate. I’m adding a photo of the silicone when I get to school.
