Multiples: getting to grips with development of concept











To be honest, I have struggled greatly with the development of this project, however, I feel as though I have overcome this hurdle and with the time left for the project will be able to produce work to a sufficient standard. As I was looking at repetition of movement, more specifically OCD, I was having trouble developing my ideas and experimental work. I therefore decided to take a different approach where by I have began to look at the extreme: complete loss of movement. This has led me onto to look at motor neurone disease and ALS ( a form of MND), therefore the artwork itself could potentially become the multiples, rather than the concept. First experimentation consisted of experimenting with silkpaper, where by i created a face, this has progressed onto using skin safe silicon to make a mould of the face and then creating a plaster cast of the negative shape. What i was looking at here was the loss of a persons identity and the loss/breakdown of a persons ability to move.
