SUICIDE BUM BAG



































We were given a two day project to create "pocket sculptures". I decided to create a handy, portable suicide device and the bum bag seemed like the perfect option! This model comes with a built in 'change of mind clause', an air hole that can be opened by loosening the toggle in front of the nose (as seen above) Best of luck!

Ultra absorbent wedding dress!







We were given a one day project to make a sculptural piece for the body. The key words were: Protection, concealment, invasion, armour, attachment... I decided to make a wedding dress out of ladies incontinence pants (large but discreet variety!) I love how a woman's wedding day is supposed to be one of the proudest days of her life but I'm guessing the day a woman pisses herself for the first time must be the most shameful! At least she'll be alright if it rains!

Final sculpture pieces















I glued my boob blanket to the wall and was challenged to make my light bulb boobs light up!  I accepted the challenge and got those babies wired up! I also decided to add a male aspect to the sculpture (hint) he's the rusty old piece of copper with the broken light bulb that leans against the wall (Feminist?)

Bits and boobs!





We were asked to make a doll self in a day so I decided to focus on just a couple of key aspects! I think it's fairly obvious what aspects I chose in the end...!
