It occurred to me during my process that the vast array of elements that have helped me to form my performance can very much be the definition of ‘performance art’ and indeed ‘art’ itself.

Art across the eons has evolved. Form drawing, painting and sculpting to many multi visual and multimedia art installations.

It is apparent to me that my process of finalising my performance has including all aspects of art. I started with early observational drawings to practice the intricate lines from the features of an elderly face. These pictures progressed to early sculpting tests with air dry clay to practice the carving and moulding the clay to form these folds and lines. I then began the process for mould making with Plaster a Paris, and alginate, which gave me the plaster cast of my face to begin the sculpting. I then sculpted the elderly face on to the plaster then moulded with Plaster a Paris again to create the negative of the elderly face to pour the gelatine in between. Once the two plaster moulds are pressed together the appliances are removed and painted. Again the painting involved lots of observational colouring from other pictures to get the skin tone right. Once the face was completed the character was constructed by looking at mannerisms of lecturers I know and elderly people I know. I create a character similar to how Eric Bogosian would. Then of course the presentation slide aspect which is of course a projection, and connects to the whole performance.
