Well after wrapping the statue with cling film I became interested in the idea of creating a replica of my own body. Specifically my body though. Nothing else really seemed to interest me. This meant wrapping my hands in cling film again with the intention of creating a wax replica.
This was that replica. It didn't really resemble a hand at all. Just ever so slightly suggested it. Which in a way was nice because it was as if I was taking away from the essence of the subject twice. Once by wrapping it and again when I added the wax.
This idea of taking away from the essence attracted me again. But of course this is where it got a little narcissistic. I wanted to create my head from wax. Firstly I took away from the essence twice by wrapping my head in tin foil then filling that with wax.
I of course needed to take it a step further however by taking away 3 times. I did this by wrapping my head in the cotton and rope I favored so much in the beginning then covering that in plaster bandage to create the shell then filling that with wax. 3 times.
