From tutor feedback and waiting a very long time for some sticks to arrive as I have used all the college supplies on my other pieces of work. I took the mannequin and in my spare time out of college hours I made another top half of the human figure to exhibit in my exhibition. I got my influence from peer students work and adapting materials which artists have used(shown early on my blog- Damien Hurst, David Oliveira, Daniel Arsham etc) with materials I had access to. Along the way I cam across a few problems.
I began by covering the mannequin in vasaline before I could do anything else so it was easier to remove the later on.
This is how much area 1 glue stick covered. So I am going to be using quite a lot them more to patch up the broken cuts I have had to make to remove it from the mannequin.
as you can see from the images above I have removed a piece of glue from the mannequin as it seems to very thick and heavy to the eye and this wasn't the effect I wanted to make. so I started again being more delicate and making sure it suffient holes with out it braking.
I had finished covering the whole mannequin and the was an erg to get it hung so others who were waiting for the frames had room to hang their work by having at sculptural pieces hung and lit. So I brought inn the mannequin and removed it that morning. The was a big problem when removing my work, me and another student who was helping me began removing the work. as we was removing the work the more you seem to remove the mannequin the glue was just braking. We managed to remove the whole piece of work BUT not in less than 5 pieces, so from this it wasn't fixable as it was and to find which pieces were from were. So talking to tutors I reflected on this and although I spend so long on it I think my area looks well without it.
I put it down to rushing the process in order to get the piece finished in time and being over generous with the Vaseline as the glue didn't grip with the other glue very well due to Vaseline preventing this.
