making oneself

last thursday was an interesting constrast from the tuesday's critique and discussion roundtable. we were whisked away to a large room, donned our disposable tshirts (i sacrificed my mit beavers shirt; brown never did suit me), and went to wrapping ourselves in layers of gummed paper, mummy-style, to create body doubles of ourselves. cheapo egocentric dressform factory!



method similar to this: gummed paper dress form

i was a huge rush, since i wanted to attend the beginning of class but had to leave for the sigur ros concert (which actually started on time, a reassuring move). i wonder if my form dried successfully before i left. it was a soggy, soggy day, so the hair dryers were indispensible. thank you gemma for crossing my heart!

i may try doing a duct tape model as well. maybe this coming weekend?

thursday concerts may be killing me this semester. why oh why, royksopp, why oh why, beck, do you have to perform in boston on thursday nights?
