PROJECT THREE: FINAL, A Mask for Marc Newson.

These are various rendered views of the wire frame image from the post below. The final is the bottom image. It shows the main steps in the process i used, the top right being the simple shape extrusion, the next being the drape variation and the third shows the mache composition of the drape I used. These three images reference a mass leaving an impression. The image to their left shows the non uniform mache construction and brings forth the negative space used, hinting toward its make up being void of actual volume and made up of fragmented bits.

Proj three: A mask for Marc Newson.-these images show the construction of the viod behind the drape-highlighting the lack of volume.

To me, these drawings convey the idea of intended or perceived volume I have been working toward.
Firstly the impressions suggest that a mass is present, however they are void of mass so can only represent the negative space of what has been or is intended to be placed there.
The series on the right hand side reinforces this by demonstrating the lack of an actual mass through out the creation process.
The mache appearance of the image on the left hints to a construction of fragmented pieces, which as a whole would be void of actual volume due to their separated nature.

A face is broken up by its features.-not bats, mostacks and eyebrows-RHINO FEVER!

ahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahg

The combination of an impression and a mass taken from work early in my process.

I feel that this combination allows the image to portray its hollow make up and volume-less mass. The impression in the drape leans towards a mass having once been present but now only its negative space and perceived volume remain.

This series of images is quite close to what i'm trying to achieve. The mache-type appearance of the mask in the top left depicts a hollowed, non uniform construction of the underlying, defining features, which would give the draped mask its characteristics.

The top right and remaining images show the drape falling through the faces construction-this highlights the hollow aspects of the face and refer to its construction having a mass but not retaining a volume as such.

By starting and finishing a drape over a hollow, the edges are able to fall through.

The drape falling through gives the appearance of crushed paper. This references the images below where the achieved form is void of actual volume. Im starting to feel the hair is unnecessary because it surrounds the face and almost appears as if its holding a volume with in its perimeter.

The mache appearance of the drape images below lead me to the use of a planar sheet to give form while refraining from actual volume.

Experimenting with paper to give the appearance of mass with volume. I found this marquette type of exploration to be quite effective.
