LATEX EXPLORATION

The face is the first thing we observe when interacting with others. By putting on a mask, identities can be hidden and we can become something else, possibly leading to a feeling of uneasiness for the observer. 'The Uncanny Valley', the theory that there is a distinct line between what is accepted as human or inhuman, was the inspiration for my work. My aim was to capture a feeling of uneasiness and the fine line between attraction and repulsion, through colour use, texture, symmetry and embellishment
