Structure Development - The structures are still in their development stage. It seems unbelievable the amount of work involved in making something look so pure and simple. The inner layers and structures needed just as much work, although they give an impression of not being worked on.
The empathy (Twin Dress) is a collision or coming together of two individual shapes. The Venus De Milo structure is by comparison a subdued element in the plot.
Presentation platforms - In my last presentation, I had all 3 models standing on a very small plinth. This was a mere gesture to give the viewer a focus or starting point.
What is the purpose of the plinth? The aim is to have 6 models, 3 from the previous and 3 for this module, standing on the plinths like structures or installations. It will not be possible to have them all standing together so I think maybe have individual plinths, platforms for each structure and possibly a bit higher. I will need to look in to perhaps making these myself in UEL with assistance.
3D Scanning - I had Venus De Milo dress scanned in on a live model. It was really interesting. The scanner could not compete the scan as it needs to read all the limbs. Ironically, we had to improvise by adding a sock to where her right arm would be to complete the scan successfully. The whole process was over in about 10 minutes.
The scanner at L.C.F only recognizes white, so the decision of which dress I would scan was made for me.. Everything one does when venturing in to new fields is a learning curve. I arranged for the model to have her hair 'put up' by a hair stylist; as in the presentation, only to find out the scanner does not read fine molecules such as hair.
Tendonitis/Tennis Elbow - Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI). A condition I contracted last year. The symptoms require me not to use my right arm. The tension and pain at time is unbearable. A comparison would be like having a really fast car rearing to go with one flat tyre. It is so frustrating. Another one of those things, where mind needs to rule over matter.
