Finding our Faces…………….
OutBurst2
On Wednesday 23rd November, Outburst met again. This time we cast faces using plaster bandage. Eight of them which become negative moulds. I spent a few hours on sunday painting the insides with clay slip, then casting them with plaster to make positives. I removed the plaster bandage and washed the faces clean. We now have facsimiles of faces.
Because of the bandages, the tissue eye protecters and the inexactitude of this process, we have ‘veiled’ faces. This suggests an idea of ‘veiling’ for the emerging project. We shall see what the next week brings.

NewYearMasks 2014 II
The New Year Masks 2014 have been made in response to observing how students at NTU have encountered the sculptural problems they have encountered during my course of mask making. Therefore these masks have been made, not as theatrical or characterful, tools for acting, rather, they are designed to be handled, felt with the hands, in order to enable students to comprehend the mass and volume of human facial physiognomy. Of course, they will be experimented with as theatre masks, to see what happens.
NewYearMasks2014
Finish the year with new designs and start the new year with finished masks.
