It‘s an incredible feeling to be like an alchemist. The wonders that can come out of your working hands with the use of something so simple as clay – technically just earth – and water. For me it’s not only the appearance of faces, but more about the emotions portrayed. Emotions we all recognize and have felt.
This piece I started by drawing random lines made with my eyes closed which I then transferred to clay. And although not all faces look like someone I know, this one reminded me of someone.
As I finished her I thought it looked so much like Anastacia, the singer of „I‘m outta Love“, remember her? The way she moves her lips and looks a bit angry, just like in her video.
Serendipity was again the origin of this face and of all the faces I‘ve made in clay for the 100 Urban Faces series. More information here.
