Assignment 1 Heads
I think this head by Tip Toland is plain weird. The craftsmanship is really nice, and I love all of the wrinkles and the color of the head. I think the missing teeth added a really nice "goofiness" to the piece. It kind of reminds me of what Golem would have looked like before he went crazy! I also appreciate the veins in the neck. Overall, a really well done piece.
This piece by Jacob Foran is pretty stellar in my opinion. I love the contrast of the gold and bright blue again the textured black head. I think that the cold stare and the steely grey in the eyes really give it a coldness to the piece. I think that the texture in the face is beautiful. The crown is really interesting to, it makes me want to see the top of the head. I feel like there is something on the top that we are missing.
This piece by Judy Fox is interesting. It seems like a very traditional Korean or East Indian head. The details in the head piece makes me think more Korean. I like the old affect of the paint, I think it gives a nice "vintage" appeal to it. I also really appreciate the details in the head piece. I can't really see the hair in the back, but from what I can see in the front it doesn't seem right. It seems to bulky to be on this head.
This head by Tanya Batura really makes my skin crawl. The morphed neck and shoulder kind of make my stomach hurt. Probably because of the unnaturalness of it. The figure looks like it is melting, and the black adds to that affect, kind of like hardened lava or something. It is interesting that she made the figure glossy, it seems like it should be matte. Overall, interesting but disturbing piece!
