This was my first attempt of the casting, turns out I hadn't pressed the clay in hard enough so it just crumbled when I tried to separate it. On the second attempt I learnt from my mistakes and made sure that the model had a thicker wall of clay and had been compacted against the cast.
This was the outcome, I had to smooth it out in a few places but the piece was exactly as I had desired.
I took a lot of inspiration from stairs and tiles for the detail, there was also something out the clay that I wanted to push the medium to the best of its abilities by creating this twisting movement. I really just found it to be an attractive shape.
