A Material I Chose


One of my first ideas I thought of was inspired by broken glass - I saw a photo of a model's face covered in what like broken glass or jagged looking jewels and it reminded me of a mosaic. I then thought of how I could turn my model into a mosaic. To create this I cut up blue and red coloured accetate into triangles of different shapes and sizes. I then applied them to the face using gelatin. I quite like the results as I can imagine if I covered the face along with these accetate shapes to create a mosaic and covering her face in a different colour - possibly white - underneath it could look like contemporary art work. I'm not 100% sure about it looking alien, maybe more in futeristic terms of robot? The only problem I had was that the gelatin didn't stick very well. If I wanted to develop this then maybe I could experiment with latex and see if that sticks better.
