Ice faces.

Documented ice faces melting and distorting.

Took cast with Plaster Paris of face.                                    Took cast of face with Easyform to create a
                                                                                               rubber mold that a liquid could be poured
                                                                                               into it.
                                                                                                               

  Rubber cast didn't work out so instaed i coated them with latex.

I then poured water and food colouring into the cast and put them into the freezer.

i then hung them together and documented them melting.

Compressed Face

Painting acrylic onto acetate.

 Looking at faces through different glass.

This week I started to look at the artist jenny Saville and I am in love with her work. Her work is so interesting. She creating these beautiful paintings by simply placing large women on glass and letting their skin and flesh morph them into something else.For those who don't know what her work is like these are a few images of her work.

Her work got me really excited about my own work so i started to go around to people in college and got them to press their faces against a sheet of acetate which made their faces somewhat distorted. These are a few of the images.

From these pictures i created line drwings of these pictures on sticky notes.i hope to do a large piece with an A1 sheet covered in these small line drawings.

This week I started to look at the wire faces I made and started to do line drawings of my face in different emotions. I then drew them onto acetate .I then layered all the acetates onto one and other. This piece I feel turned out well as from a frontal view the image is quite distorted but from the side you can see each individual facial movement. If I had more time I would like to of made this piece a bit more finished.

Face Melting

From the plaster cast i learnt how to make a wax mold properly but i felt it didn't work out as good. I tried to distort it by melting it with a lighter.

Ok so from my paintings I started experimenting in 3d...so I took a cast of my face with plaster Paris....I then covered the cast in latex. I did this to prevent the wax from sticking to the cast. This didn’t quite work as the latex stuck to the wax, but I actually liked the end product as it looked quite distorted and interesting.
