During this tutorial I showed Sharon more of the testing I had been conducting over the past few weeks with various different materials as I hadn't been present for the previous two weeks. The feedback that I got was that all though I had been testing materials I had not been thinking about the choice and application of the materials enough and I had been too literal with my testing. I felt at this point I needing some motivation to kick start some ideas and although I knew where I wanted to go with the project I feel I hadn't taken advantage of the time I had to properly and freely experiment. It was suggested that I had lost track and that perhaps I should refer back to my original photographs of textures etc as inspiration for my work. Sharon showed me the works of several artists who she felt had achieved a similar look to what I should be aiming for. Looking at the works of Thomas Rusch, David Faggiano and LucyandBart really inspired and motivated me to propel my ideas and vision and make the most of my time conducting proper test shoots in the studio. The way in which they use materials pushes the boundaries of beauty and fuses makeup and art to create something that is visually stunning and experimental. Thomad rusch exemplifies to me how cosmetics can be used to create something dynamic yet the concept is very simple. Lucyand Bart and David Faggiano take the use of materials to the extreme, the outcome is very surreal and the textures and surfaces they create on the body are stunning and effective.
