Thanks to the folk who posed for these photos it's much appreciated and if you want to use them for anything feel free.
Ive had a rather interesting idea involving projecting these but i'm keeping my cards to my chest just now cause i don't know if i can pull it off. watch this space

Originaly i had just wanted to compare the angles to each other in terms of recognition because i find it amazing that out of everyone in the world we can still recognise people even though everyones face conforms to the fundamentaly same structure and variations are measured in millimeters, yet we still find them and recognise them.
This for me developed into an interesting experiment into exploration of 3d form via a 2d medium, looking at the physicality of an object or persons presence in space.
Following this ive been looking at sculptures purely expressing the body in space
watch-this-space Such as Boccioni's "unique forms of continuity in space"
Example
and picasso's 'woman in the garden"

Ive also been working on this little gent
more sculpture
i dont think ill take him too far tho, it was more of an experiment than anything.

Also started reading Jean Baudrillard's
early work, "The System of Objects" mostly to indulge the post-socialist in me.........
but then i got distracted and went to the pictures... got drunk and dressed as a spartan.

took pictures
photoshop baby

THIS IS SPARTA!!


Thats your lot, blog you all soon
hugs, andrew
