As I wanted to work with latex, representing 'skin' which I thought would fit very well with the current project, I decided to paint latex into each of the casts which would leave a thin rubbery sculpture of the individuals body.
I had the idea to light these latex body parts up in a dark room, suspended from the ceiling, creating shadows, portraying them in a 'true light' as the individuals perceive themselves differently to how others see them.
4 litres of latex ( 4 layers coated on ) was applied to the modrock casts which took 2 days to do, leaving each individual layer to dry for a couple of hours.
