Cone Mask

This is the 3rd mask and final mask i made. It is made out of card and has a strap on the back to attach to the head.
It covers the issues protection and concealment.
I love the way these photos turned out and i love the first picture.

Pin Mask.






I loved the way this mask has turned out, simple and plain. This was a dust mask but i wanted to improve the protecting so i did by at pins to it. I just done a line down the centre as i wanted to keep it simple yet effective. 


Face Helmet

This is a FACE HELMET!  This is a sculpture that fixs to the body. It protects the face and supports the head. It is made from cardboard. I painted it white but it was very plain looking so i got black paint and put some on. It looks alot better. I also made the chin piece with a cushion on it for comfort.












Masks. Sculptures that fix to the body.



This is one of the masks I'm in the middle of working with. Once i get someone to take photos of me in it I'll have them up. It'll be later on tonight though. 
This piece invades your personal space as you have limited movement. The 3 strings attached will be stuck to the wall.

A woolen face.

This is one of the ugliest things i made during first year. It is my face with wool tighten around it.
i was very uncomfortable with it around my face as it was between my eye lids.

I like the second image better as you can see a lot more of the tangles.
 

The Spider Web- Sculptures to fix to the body

For our last project i have made a spiders web. I am showing how thw spiders web protects the human body but the human body also invades the spiders web.



I used the forest as it makes the image more exciting and you also can find a lot of spiders webs in there. I also dressed my sister in black to make her stand out from the web and the forest. I used black instead of a bright colour as i thought it was more dramatic looking.

Bronze Pennies


I made this 'beads' becuase bronze was used in the iron age. There are 20 pennies in them because there are 20 beads on the necklace. I started with one penny and circled the pennies around them but they didnt turn out circle. But i love the way they turned out. I done two becuase people in the iron age mostly wore 2 or 3 beads in a necklace.






The necklace with 3 beads

I have made a necklace with 3 wire beads on it. I used three beads as in the iron age people normally wore 2 or 3 beads and not 20 like the first necklace. I also used wire as the first necklace has cirlces on it i with wire i could make circle designs with them. 




The Circles in this are inspired by the first necklace.

The 20 Beads

This is one of the pieces for the hunt museum project. I have made a piece that hangs from the ceiling instead of around your neck. It also has staples in it as metal and metal was used in the iron age were the necklace is from.
i also used white wool to hang this because in the iron age they used the sheep wool a lot to make clothing.
