Producing plaster casts from mannequins
Don't think this experiment was very successful as it looks too 'life like' and the shape of the figure seems too distorted.
Drew around a mannequin with wire and I am quite pleased with the outcome. The way the wire has been placed together and shaped has a similar feeling to my previous drawings of the figure. I think the leading lines the wire creates is quite interesting and I am also pleased with the transparancy of the piece.
Going to continue adding 'limbs' to the piece e.g. arms and legs, maybe elongate the figure to distort it in some way (reference to Giacometti). As this wire piece is rather transparent I have the idea when it is finished to spray paint through the wire with paper behind it and see if it creates an interesting effect on the paper and then maybe work back into the piece.
