Journal Update!

I've been making a wire figure with a latex 'skin' sewn on and I'm hoping it will work out. I really do wish I'd started it sooner as it really is what I'd wanted to do since I worked out I could sew the latex. I don't why I didn't.
I am glad I got the chance to learn about mould making of faces, using alginate and rubber but I could have spent more time on getting the sculpture I'm doing now to have more... focus, I think.

I've veered away from trying to focus more on expressing a distinct feeling, as I was finding it hard to communicate effectively, both at first in drawings and then from drawings to wire, but hopefully the shape of the figure links back to other things I've done and looked at. It definitely follows on from all my latex experiment, my wire face in the previous project, and possibly the work of LucyandBart

David Oliveira - wire sculptures!!!

I feel like I  will be pleased with the outcome, and I'm really enjoying the process. It isn't quite what I was aiming for, but I can keep making things after this course, maybe I might get across what I want at some point.
