Over Break

Over break I worked on the same wire work I had previously done but tried to get closer to the subject and try new angles. I experimented with rubbing oil on the back of the finished transfers to remove the paper quality which worked quite well. I also found a color of tea stain I plan on using for the final images to give them more of a lifelike quality.  Lastly, I began a scroll of text I plan to accompany the images.  The scroll will be hand written text hundreds of times mind numbingly repeating one single phrase, "This is only my flesh".  The paper will pool on to the floor in a pile next to the images.

Here are some new images...right now I'm leaning towards the close-ups.
