Body Casting

Even though I have been extremely happy with the outcome of the Photoshoots and feel they portray my research of distorted perceptions in a successful way, I wanted to carry on the development of getting to know these middle aged women who have come forward to help develop the project.

As I usually like to involve sculpture within my work and remembering how effective the body casting process worked in Stage 2, I wanted to bring it into practice for this project, questioning the women whether they would allow me to cast the parts of the body they were unhappy with which could later be turned into a beautiful object and seen in a aesthetically pleasing positive way.

Each of the women were happy for me to do this and were excited to be a part of this process, which they ended up finding very therapeutic and relaxing.
