Image of a large cast pewter serving dish, the mould is made of aluminium foil

Every week, my family enjoyed a Sunday roast served on a large ceramic platter. Now, no longer used, I created a mould from it by packing aluminium foil tightly over its front and back. Pouring molten pewter into this and slowly swirling it, I waited and watched for the movement to cease, stillness to take over, and a shadow to remain.
