Form through Shadow: Full Body Self-Portrait
This is my final product of the Finding Form through Shadow project. On a 30x44" piece of Stonehenge paper, I made a life-sized self portrait of myself through shadow. In my self-portrait, I am happily surprised by birds all around me. To achieve this affect through observation, I molded birds out of clay and hung them from the ceiling of my apartment with twine. I had a single lamp shine on my body and the birds from my left side. The lamp was positioned on a little stool, tilted upwards. Meanwhile, I put a mirror and a makeshift canvas (which I put the Stonehenge paper on) in front of me to paint.
