I started with this series for about 3 years now, and it was intended to do counterparts to the well known:"see no evil, hear no evil,etc. So the first part was "SayNoGood" - the entire idea was inspired by the Horror -movie saga "SAW" and fits well in my program of sculpture-with-digital-derivative-option.
In 3 Years a lot things can happen, in my case there is a marriage and the switch to freelancing illustration business. But i always had in mind to start with the second part, but when I used to drop the findings together -there i was aware that it takes this time to get the right pieces.
I´m a collector of everything that others describe as trash, but these are little gems, which are undoubtful in need to get shaped in order to shine.
First of i did a face out of NSP-clay to see if the attachments were fitting, it takes a lot of trial and error to find the right items and to arrange them to look tied together like one piece. Below are more WIP- pictures to get an account of how much work was involved.
A handful of clay.
Two handful of clay..
Refined handfuls of clay...
Even more refined handfuls of clay....
Basecoat over refined handfuls of refined clay.....

Interesting :). Have you tried 'Super Sculpey'? I am playing with some for my Summer Exhibition. It's unnervingly like human skin and if you use Angel Hair to make an impression it takes on the pattern and texture of human skin too. Freaky. :P
ReplyDeleteThanks, actually i know about Super Sculpey, but for this work i can´t really bake, so this clay is "air drying" will check out Super Sculpey for sure on another project, have seen great stuff done with it;-)
