Where is this goinggg?!

Soo ive been thinking a bit about whats important in my work, if its the exact human form or a representation of it. The thing i liked about exact body casts were that you can get body language through it which is difficult with mannequins but then i feel like body casts are repeated and have been done a million times before. However if im casting small areas of the body which are then put together it will create an abstract hard to recognise figure that you would need a closer look to see the body. I also had the idea to use materials that have elements of the body such as clothing but will create a deformed non body like shape if filled with plaster/ foam. My idea for this came from...

 

Im not sure what the artists called or where i got this picture from but i like that its used a familiar maerial and technique you recognise with clothing then filled with a material that still looks wet and in a process.

 

Next i want to try casting smaller areas and see how that works, i want to use Erwin Wurms photography as a reference and may use this as a technique to decide what areas to cast.

 

 

I want to find a material to use as scrim but has larger holes in, my first thoughts were fish net tights which ill try tomorrow. I could try using strips of material in plaster to create lattice effect with holes in across the body or string? I just like how when i put the inside coat in, as though im going to take it out, that its kept in the process stage of developing and changing rather than moving to a final finished piece.

 

Also if i decide not to do an accurate cast of the body i want to try casting objects that reference the body like a chair that fits the body so i need to look into ergonomics with ways objects are manufactured to be comfortable to use.
