Death #4 Impalement (Detail)

Death #4 Impalement

Fot this piece I used plaster bandage to mold both my head and hand. For the head I wore a swim cap and covered my face and head with vasline, then plaster. I did the face in two parts and then assembled, and the hand in one part. I used a kitchen knife for the impalement and acrylic paint mixed with water for the blood. I assembled and photographed this piece while babysitting my little brothers. They've both decided they will never become artist because its too scary.
