Body Casting







We tried body casting today using a similar technique to the face cast but used scrim to strengthen to the cast as its on a larger scale. First Chloe wrapped cling film around me over my overalls making sure it wasnt too tight as it clings and can be quite restrictive, making sure there were no gaps. Then i lent against a wall making sure my legs were a bit further out so the scrim didnt slide down my body and could hold on better. The plaster thickened and dried quite quickly so the scrim had to put on fast before it started to set.

Over all i felt the outcome looks effective and is definitely something i want to look further into for a project, i like the raw effect it has and how it can make the model have an unknown identity and anonymaty.
