F.A.Q.s: TC’s 1996 novice portfolio –

 page 1

 

 

 

2001 verdict:

This constitutes a two-fisted amateur effort, but at the same time runs no risk of being mistaken for professional work!

 

Unusually, the closeup picture actually works the best – the shape of the head looks odd in the wide shot.

 

The nostrils are obviously just empty holes, one eye’s off to the chip shop and there’s no eyelashes or eyebrows. The paint scheme is quite ambitious, albeit a little on the orange side; however, the piece lacks the translucency we associate with real skin and so has an uphill struggle not to read as fake anyway.

 

(Sculpted in plastiline, moulded in plaster, cast in latex, painted with acrylics/latex mix.  The eyes are roll-on deodorant balls artworked up!)
