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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
