To explore the corsetry idea further, I began to mold (rather than just document) the physical changes that the corset enforced on my body. Using wire and encasing my body, I first cast my waist, seeing how the volume, the mass of my body altered. By producing two of these, one with the corset and one without, the differences were quite shocking. Due to the fact that I was casting my own body, I can draw similarities between my work and the sculptures produced by Antony Gormley. As like him I have created several molds of my own body, re-producing and re-creating myself in various media. It also shows a progression from the exhibition piece of my arm, to ‘Rotting Features’ even though the scale has changed. -- source link
