Hey all,

We are tasked with stabilizing some ceramic sculptures on pedestals w/ out vitrines. Looking for something way more substantial than wax or putty. More like mounts, or mechanism to keep the work in place and from tipping and I'm reaching out here for ideas/materials.

Many have hollow cavities, though not all. One thought of ours was an ethafoam form cut to fit inside the cavities, then fasten the foam to a board then to the pedestal. Thoughts?

Another idea and for the works without a cavity are custom cut acrylic brackets screwed into the top of the pedestal coming 1/2" up the piece. These lined with felt where contact with the work is.

Or some type of clear acrylic mirror clip...

Has anybody ever done something like either of these? Am I being clear? See Lucio Fontana's Deposition for a pic of one of the works in the show. http://art.newcity.com/wp-content/up...0/12921480.jpg

As usual, we don't have much time...

Thanks!
