Modelled the first of the six clay heads, this one based on the marble sculpture ‘Pandora’ by John Gibson. I’ve also started ‘the Frankenstein project’ which will replicate the process used to make the ‘identikit’ drawings, but will use ‘mug-shots’ of studio visitors/volunteers instead of heads from the collections.
Visitors will be invited to make a light-box drawing of their portrait print-out, as well as creating their own ‘Frankenstein’ collage. I tried the system out over the weekend with visiting family members Alison, Joyce and Billy, and it seems to work well.
