For this project, I knew I wanted to carry on with my figurative work, as I had a flare for it in the previous project, and thought the results were quite successfull.
For this project:
- I struggled to decide on a starting point - family/ friends/ general public.
- Wanted to show interaction between the busts- e.g. 2 or more people haveing a conversation.
- Wanted to explore the building of the busts - using techniques such as mixing different colours of the same clay together for certain sections of the face and introducing wood.
I thought that wanting to explore the building of the busts aswell as having a theme of interaction would be too larger of a task for this project, and maybe be better saved for my final year.
This decided, I hit the streets of Nottingham on a search for characterful faces to work from -here are the best ones. I focused my search to the older generation as they have had more life experiences and felt their faces have more of a story to tell?
For each person I photographed, I captured them from the front and both sides.
