Flourishing Florals and Skulls

Rummaging in my box of paper treats I keep under my bed out of sight, trying to find some images for a current project,I came across these forgotten photos. They are of a project from my foundation year at Chelsea art college. The brief was Worlds apart, and I decided to mix bundles of lovely flourishing florals with the idea of death and skulls, lovely I know! These photos are of the work as a final pieces but layered up on top of each other and taken quite close up.The final piece was almost like a concept magazine lay out, made in trace using masking tape, photocopy, hand drawing and synthetic hair. The trace works really well as you turn the pages because they layer up to form different lay outs every time you turn a page, concealing and revealing different areas.
At the moment it is tucked away under my bed at home, I'm thinking I might take it apart and turn it into a canvas over Easter as I forgot how much I loved it.
