Description
I have had trouble starting this project as I just wanted to experiment in the workshops but wasn't making anything that was worthy of this project.
I have however got starting points that I am now developing.
My 1st idea was to experiment with the make up or creation of people and objects.
Another idea was to experiment with the shape of a circle/ring and the different readings I would get from this shape when materials, size and colour were changed.
I have experimented with clay, plaster and wax so far.
Regarding to my 1st idea I did a cast of my face and made a mold out of wax which was set in different layers of colours, this is meant to give an idea that these colours represent me in a certain way relating to cultural influences?
I do need and want to get different interpretations from these objects at the crit though so I can resolve it further.
I havn't really got much of a diagram because I've hit a wall.

In regards to research with the 1st idea I liked artists that did self portraits and face molds such as, Jo Lee and Agnes Arellano


And with the second idea my research has been mostly about the meaning of a circle, Religon, Feminism, Earth, Life.
