FINAL- mask for Michael Jackson

Looking back on my images this was one of the most interesting ones... I finished it off on photo shop as I didn't think the idea of draping worked for my piece.

Plastic look
altered head to be young micheal jackson
juxtaposition of age and youth... has both effects of showing his past and his future

WHAT I THOUGHT MIGHT BE THE FINAL- masks for Michael Jackson

This is what I thought my final mask would be. It seems as though my idea of turning Michael into a younger version of himself (an unmask) has turned into a project of portraying Michael as he continues to 'plastic' himself....deterioration over time.


In that case..




perhaps this image, (the mask turned to be a top view) is the most effective mask for Michael Jackson.

*the dripping
*melting effect
*shows how man made things don't last forever and the things we often hold on to will some day waste away.
*It asks that question: what will Michael be left with when his plastic features melt away?
*it is still an unmask.. as it is the process of Michael being 'unmasked' over time/as he ages/dies
*frailty of skin and the idea of the soul being stronger and more lasting
*soul/spirit/mind etc give a more accurate representation of who we really are

Steps to reach my final drawing #3

I inserted a colour map of a sergical mask and split it so that it fit the face without a background surrounding my form.

I don't like the look of the drapes casting a frame around the face... I like the appearance of holes.

Steps to reach my final drawing #2

I adapted the 'face' which can be found on rhino to look more like Michael when he was a boy.

I then thought of the idea of adding a surgical mask and when this is across a person's face you can't see all their features. So I added shapes to blur the features once covered with drapes.
