The death of an innovative female sculptor — Cynthia “Plaster Caster” Albritton.
Consequence of Sound reports the death.
Albritton had her first exhibition in New York City in 2000. The following year, she was profiled in Jessica Everleth’s documentary Plaster Caster, and in 2005, she contributed to the 2005 BBC 3 documentary My Penis And I. Albritton has inspired and been referenced in a number of songs, including KISS’ “Plaster Caster,” Le Tigre’s “Nanny Nanny Boo Boo,” Jim Croce’s “Five Short Minutes,” and Momus’ “The Penis Song.”
I was just reading about her yesterday. After listening to the new episode of "A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs" — about "Hey Joe" by The Jimi Hendrix Experience — I found this 2005 London Times article "Hazy days/He arrived as a nobody but immediately had London’s greatest rock stars at his feet. Charles R Cross reveals the wild rise of Jimi Hendrix":
When [The Jimi Hendrix Experience] arrived at the Chicago Hilton [in February 1968], three young women ran up to them excitedly.
"We want to plaster-cast your Hampton Wick," Cynthia Albritton, 20, announced. She thought talking cockney would make her Chicago accent more worldly.
Jimi's response: "Oh, yeah. I heard about you. Come up to the room."...
Cynthia retreated to the bathroom to begin mixing dental plaster while her companions began working on Jimi.... Once he was aroused, they stuck a vase filled with plaster around his penis, and he was told to stay still - and turned on - for one full minute while the plaster dried. ... The room was silent during the moulding.
"It wasn't very sexy, really," Cynthia recalled. "Jimi was one of the first moulds we ever did, and we didn't lubricate his pubes enough. A lot of his pubes got stuck in the plaster, and there was only one way to remove them, which was pull them individually."
Art is difficult. It's not just some party game or device to get close to glamorous celebrities. Albritton's brilliant concept endured, and she belongs in the pantheon of female sculptors.
