My summative art project--its SUPPOSED to be a self-portrait, but clearly that didn' work out too well...*for shame*
I already know what all the blasted anatomical boo-boos are, so please don't remind me
Not supposed to be about the "Duality of Man" or "Life and Death." I see it merely as a literal translation of what's really beneath the skin, making it a bit of a mockery of all those dumbass cliches. I hollowed out the orbit of the skull to show darkness, again, not a reference to the "Darkness in the Heart of Man," but to illustrate that black is an absence of something. I wanted the viewer to fill in that space with their imagination, either conciously or sub-conciously.
...Aaaannnd that's all the bullcrap I fed to my art teacher. Pretty much that entire paragraph
I was debating adding hair, but ultimately decided that it was too much work. (I told my teacher that I thought it would "lessen the impact").
Ugh, sculpture is sooooo much easier then drawing.
Stoneware (Tucker's clay?), unfired because I was worried about air pockets >.> Not completely bone-dry, either.
Took about five hours of work, and most of that was just making the basic frame. The thing weighs about seven or eight kilos x.x
