TRANSFORM!!

My brief is about the human body and re-designing it. I choose the word transform and came up with a few ideas on how to transform the human body. Although the human body has many exciting features to transform i choose ribs as i thought they were very interesting to look at as the shape of the ribs are very exciting. 

When thinking of ideas to transform the ribs i thought of twisting, expanding, shortening and changing the complete look and scuture of them.

I made a rib cage out of wire but it was too plan and boring for me so i got some old tights from the two week electives and woven the coloured tights around the wire. I like they way it turned out but it wasn't enough. I wanted something more. So i got the idea to stick pins in it. I ended up loving them then. it made them allot more exciting and less 'pretty'.

After that was done i made another pair only this time the ribs were turned out words. I covered news paper and tape. I was confused for a while on what to use. i was going to use plaster but my tutors suggested that i could use white paint. When i painted it it was way to white and 'perfect' looking so one of my friends gave me white spray pain that was a different shade of white so it made them look a wee bit rougher.

These picture are of the first set of ribs i done
