The scarecrow is a common figure in an English rural landscape, and is literally defined as something that frightens or is intended to frighten?. This definition led me into a study, involving fifty facial studies investigating the grotesque, where the grotesque can be found in the human face, the ability of the grotesque to frighten and the manner in which the grotesque can still possess elegance of form. From these fifty drawings, five designs were chosen; these were translated into three dimensions, by building modroc features over polystyrene mannequin heads. These heads will then be displayed in the allotment, making use of natural light to highlight their features.
The show is finished now, we thank everyone for their tremendous support.
The red arrow indicates the location of the exhibition, please come to the studios first.
