Okay these are far from the finished product....just thought I would post some progress pics to let you know where I'm going with this idea....

I am working towards an exhibition in November, playing with ideas of the portrait, identity, the internet etc....

Excuse the pic quality, trying to shoot white on white with a cheap point and shoot camera has its issues.

Thanks Tiffa34 for the pic


netting layers: 75% aqua transparency, 25% aqua pearlescent white face layer: aqua opaque white.....screenprint on acetate


plastic pallette wrapping netting, opaque white screenprint on acetate



obviouslly just experimental stuff, plan on working on large sheets of perspex and layering heaps more elements....denser areas, fracturing facial features onto diff layers.

Also going to play with coloured perspex (Sparky your pic is begging to be used for this!)

May use spotlights too (coloured and clear) as the shadows can be awesome for these.


If you are willing to let me use your face please send a photographic self portrait to: kimhurst@slingshot.co.nz
