Snow White and the Huntsman

Some pictures of the Set and Prop work I helped with at Pinewood studios back when it was being filmed in September. The process is slow, and everything is based on schedules that have to be met. When our pieces were used we were able to go on set and assist with the set up. 

The reeds took forever. 

Sorry I had to leave my two girls behind during that.

Happy Birthday.

Adam.

You Will Never Be forgotten.

Some studio photos of my performance piece

I might as well confess

On repeat.

Facing the Hours

But often now this body she wore... this body, with all its capacities, seemed nothing - nothing at all

Antony Gormley

Antony Gormley’s ‘Blind Light’ was an exhibition I saw in 2007. This large scale installation addresses the fundamental questions of ‘body and space, appearance and disappearance, transformation and transcendence’. I love the idea of the unknown, bringing the audience outside of their comfort zone using the body’s senses.   

Louise Bourgeois

Louise Bourgeois has made a variety of sculptures made from plaster and latex which have inspired my performance piece. ‘The Destruction of my Father’ (1974), is a representation of a family dinner table, exploring the power of dominance of a father and his offspring. It is a flesh toned installation in a womb-like room and through her materiality and atmosphere creates a powerful and uncomfortable piece. I like the distorted shapes created and how her pieces enclose and engulf the body. I feel that claustrophobia is something that is a strong quality in her work.

I have been experimenting with different materials to use for my performance piece. (Above) I used silicon, mixed with a catalyst and a non drip bond. However, this process was not so successful, it had left a lumpy distorted mould and wasn't air tight, which is what I needed my mould to be (it also smelt of vomit which wasn't the nicest smell to have lingering in my room)

I made several experimental clay heads, ranging in sizes and then coated them in latex. This outcome was more successful, and I had already tried and tested 0.5mm sheet latex which I will be using for my latex suit, so there was more of a consistency of materials.
