Plaster Self Portrait - "Is the grass Greener?"




Above is a 3D representational self portrait. This is the process to achieve the final out come:
- Getting my face plastered
- Making hair out of plaster
- Priming/Painting the wood as well as plaster
- Constructing a poem (by choice)
- Collecting hay
- Spray painting hay
- Attaching/problem solving how to get the hay to stick

For me this piece was to represent where I am in life. I look forward to venturing on to a new chapter, but fear I will miss what is currently so comfortable and secure. My poetic thoughts are covering the face of my plaster self showing that to me, it is obscure what the future withholds.
