Mini Me?

We were given a really interesting assignment, we had to create a doll version of ourselves, but it had to be exactly half our height. At first I wanted to go quite literally with this one, but with a deadline of 2 days, there was no way I would've gotten what I wanted done. My first sculpture I made was a "dinosaur" version of me. I used my skeleton sculpture from before, and added on a dinosaur head to show my life-long obsession with dinosaurs. I put my Smiths vest on it to add to my personality and also to add a little humour as the vest reads "Meat is Murder"!

Skeletor

Coming from a performing background, I know quite a bit about movement. I know that at the end of the day, all movement comes from the skeleton. I decided to make a rough sculpture of a skeleton suspended in the air (again to show my interest in hanging).
I used balsa wood and paper to make the sculpture, as it shows the delicacy of our bones and how easily they can be broken, but at the same time are quite strong and can support a lot.
