Skin 3

Phase of process (first photo bleak. Colors are richer).
Some choices arising from a selection of materials. Below: rough edges on foam-core, skin printed on paper staying loose, 3D shape spilling out of rectangle at bottom.
I realize that this piece has a representational context, either phallic or head and shoulders, not to mention the photographic element (image of skin, distorted in comp. program).
Camera-fresh, non-photoshop (except for black outer rectangle), images work better clicked on:


or ( all below are photoshopped images): neat outer edge plus hard-edge skin rectangle:


or: going even further, same elements as above, but with reduced bubbliness on inner shape:


Side view (very "baguette-attacked-by rodents" look, but it's the truth. The material is "Great Stuff", normally used for filling cracks, etc, poured onto foam-core and shaved into present shape with sharp blade):


So far the first image, the direct result of "casually" placing these items together, is my first choice for this part of the process. I'll pour over and weigh down the inner 3D shape with transparent latex which will probably pour down onto the "skin". This will either be the final phase, or lead to more. If anything mildly interesting happens I will post it.
