Hi, I’m Brooke.
I’m interested in surfaces, small details, and what emerges when you take the time to really look. For me, casting is not only about form, but about a shared process.
An artist-led, FLINTA-run sculpture studio exploring the human body through casting.
People usually find us because of me — they want to meet the person who will cast their body, and feel at ease with her. That’s why every project starts with a conversation, and why I take my time with every single person.
Trained as a painter, working as a sculptor — many years of casting processes and materials, in Berlin.

How a cast is made
Preparation
Measurements for the support structure, hair trimmed short, a protective cream.
Alginate
A thick layer of skin-safe alginate captures every detail. It does not pull hair and sets in minutes.
Support
Plaster bandages hold the soft mould in shape. Then it comes off — gently.
The cast
Filled, freed from the mould and refined by hand over about three months.
Safe and water-based
Out of respect for the body and the environment, I work exclusively with safe, water-based materials — chosen for your safety, mine, and the life of the finished piece.
