I plan on trying my first illustrative sculpture piece. I plan on creating two character figures and photographing them together. The idea for the finished images will be that they are having a moment of warmth and tenderness together while the outside world can seem cold and dreary. I'm creating their bodies out of armature wire, aluminum foil, and ace bandages, then making their heads and hands out of sculpey, which I will also paint with details once it is baked. I will then sew them clothing, including a small hand knit scarf that will wrap around them both in the photos, symbolic of their connection. Here is a sketch of an idea of what I want their faces to look like and also a photo of a sample face I experimented with with a different kind of clay.
