Installation Development

The body casting process has been therapeutic and relaxing for all of the middle aged women who have taken part in this project, each explaining how it somehow felt like a salon experience, having a conversation during the body casting treatment as you would in a normal day to day salon and making each individual feel at ease during the duration of the body cast.

Due to the therapeutic process, I felt the idea of creating my own body casting salon installation would portray my whole concept in an effective way and allow my audience to get an idea of the process each of the women have taken part in.

Within the salon, I would like the finished body casting sculptures to be presented in a cosmetic and aesthetically pleasing way, displaying the positive outcome of changing the middle aged women’s perceptions of their bodies.
