Surface

These face and hand prosthetics made of

platsil gel 10 silicone were my very first attempts
at making prosthetics. I used my own face as a
mold to make a fake skinned off face and cut off
fingers, and painted them with bruise tones and
aged blood alcohol paints to imitate the death
and decay in the skin.
Sailor Makeup Template

This template of a sailor makeup was

drawn by me in photoshop, and was used to
be replicated in a production of anything goes.
Using grey blue tones on the eyes and nude/
red lipstick I managed to maintain the clas-
sic 20’s makeup look but by adding the wing I
added a more contemporary element.
Anything goes set

I created a model set for my school’s production

of anything goes out of cardboard, polymer clay, and
acrylic paint. The measurements shown above were
to replicate the deck of a ship, sized down and acco-
modated to my schools dimensions.

Tied In Knots (left)
This was my first body paint-
ing during my concentration on
illusion. By creating the illusion of
a tangled up stomach I wanted to
communicate a feeling of insecu-
rity and uncertainty in my model.
Static (right)
This body painting of an old-
school tv on someone’s stomach
challenged me to confront a more
global theme of capitalism, indoctri-
nation, and brainwashing. By inte-
grating the tv with the persons core
a sense of unity and no possibility
of separation is created.

clown should look like. The warm colours
blending down into a dark black create
contrast but by making them slowly tran-
sition into eachother, the merging of the 2
makes sense.
Special FX Wax Work

These 2 modelling wax FX works were painted with gel

and cream paints, and adhered with liquid latex. I studied the
hand in order to get these 2 pieces as anatomically correct,
and I am confident that I was successful.
Eagle Prop: Used for a production of Arabian
Nights, constructed with cardboard and painted
with acrylic paint.
Red Garden

These 2 pieces were painted on can-

vas with acrylic. I decided to paint them in
order to demonstrate my technical painting
skills, and to study colour through acrylic
paint.
Line Work Study:

I spent some time

studying line work and
graphic drawings to im-
prove on my detail skills.
