Fascia No. , Layer One, Deconstructing Julie

Decon­struct­ing Julie

This one is part of the Fas­cia Series, trip­tych por­traits in lay­ers. This is the base layer. I started this work with Julie back in July of this year. I had her sit fac­ing away from me and push her shoul­ders back., cre­at­ing a nice bit of folds in the skin. I then had her face right and left respec­tively and attached her sides and breasts to where her breast­bone should be. I did some work in 3D using Light­wave. This reminds me of a UV map, unfold­ing the “skin” on a body and flat­ten­ing it out.
