Exploring different methods of mask making, I decided to experiment with plaster bandage. This would allow me to build up the face rather than rely on the original contours of the base. I want to create texture and then paste images on to the surface of the dried plaster. My initial trial has proved problematic as the base masks gets too wet and if the plaster is laid too thickly its produces undesired results. I intend to try again using thinner layers and will swap the cardboard base for something more robust. I am also going to experiment with modelling clay.
