What I've Been Up To Lately!

Hi All!  

It's been a very very very long time since I last posted.  I plan to do more regular posts on a weekly basis about what I have been working on, reading, seeing, etc...

Now on to my latest work: Introducing my body cast!

Body Cast #1, Fiber Print, 2013

Body Cast #2, Fiber Print, 2013

I left off last year experimenting with this plastic body cast I made of myself out of packing tape.  I had to wrap layers and layers of it around my body, then cut myself out.  It was a bit painful and sweaty sitting in this thing, but it was worth it.  I first made a body cast like this in undergrad in my sculpture class; however, it was complete with arms (this one wasn't).

Experimentation was the name of the game, as I was also using my Rolleicord camera for the first time when I took these, so it was a fun process.  The camera takes beautiful pictures, so I am excited to use it some more! 

I have more pictures to come with this cast, so stay tuned...
