A quick write up for what I got up to yesterday. I intended to create more work, finish some more clocks and do as much as I could steam through as I was ready to get down into making as much as possible, instead I spent hours with afew other people editing a front cover of a magazine, which took alot of time away from what I originally wanted to do, however this is what I have managed to do yesterday and the day before.
Two days ago I created the head candles, as seen in a previous post. I had also designed two more of the clock faces, this being the faces for the a person being affected by harmfull and painfull sores. This is of a person who has sores over their arm and face, with the hair covering the rest of the person. The second clock I designed was the face for the angel who dried up the great river euphrates and allowed a passage for the kings from the east. This is a dried up river with a palace at the east side to represent this part of the narrative. I have only got as far as engraving a little detail and intend to burn and paint and create more detail on this in the future, when I will also show pictures on here of how it went.
Yesterday I decided to create a mould for the head candles, I have carved out where the candle would be, and then created a mould from this as it will save time and effort in the future as I wont need to carve out the hole many times in the future. Attached I have put up a picture of the head in the middle of being cast, with the first layer of vinyl rubber on top of it.
The other thing I created yesterday was parts of the 3rd angel statues which will be placed around the room in the degree show. This piece I intend to sit on the projector which I plan on making and will post images of soon. This piece will sit on the projector so that when the viewer goes to activate the projector they will see this little angel staring at them, and I plan on painting its face with what would appear to be blood dripping down with the intended effect to shock or un-nerve the audience. Also I want to keep the feeling of always being watched while in the room.
I used the angel which i had created before from the first mould and cut each limb off. I then sanded them into different angles where they connect and repieced them together. The two images attached show what the final outcome of this is, however I will need to add plaster to fill in the gaps and make the sculpture abit more smoother. I still also need to make wings and add them onto the sculpture, but this has always proven to be the easiest part and should take less than an hour to do anyway.
