Mark Miller, host, and Dara Golding, producer, speak with Christina King, an ocularist at the Center for Ocular Prosthetics in Portland.
Today, they talk about the unexpected paths Christina’s career has taken as she always seeks to improve her skills. And how she came to create both fantastical “fun eyes” and realistic eye prosthetics. Learn about:
- How she made her first fun eye (a prosthetic with a gold iris!) for Rachel Mackenzlee and how this led to going viral
- How she and Rachel started a fund to help people pay for fun eyes
- The medical and artistic sides of creating eye prosthetics
- Why Christina will soon be sitting between two giant eye sculptures at a conference
- What Hollywood gets wrong about prosthetic eyes
- And how painting tricks can make painted pupils look like they’re expanding and contracting!
