Perhaps a new approach?

As I stated in my last post, I was beginning to study the movement of the body and how it works.  I've spent the last while researching the different parts, specifically the muscles.  I spent time investigating different materials which would look and act like muscles.  I looked at latex, rubber bands and rubber tubing from old bicycle tyres.  I found that the latex was the one which I thought worked best and also the one which I personally preferred to work with.

However, on from that I experienced a severe "creative blockage" and had to approach my project from a different angle.


I still am very interested in centring my project around the human body and how it works.  So from this point I started to look more at the transition from young to old and the differences in the bodies through the ages as it matures.  For this I have to do further study of people in everyday life and situations so days of creeping with my camera and sketchpad round Limerick Citayyyy are being called for.
