His body casts of numerous human models are made with various materials, including resin and silicone.

Around 1979, Moffett started casting in Polyester resin, Epoxy, and silicone rubber. His hyper-realistic work could be compared to Duane Hanson and John De Andrea. Many of his paintings feature strong social commentary, including satirical advertising slogans.
