caroline kosmos

You may have seen the model that I've created, though it doesn't really do much justice--but what I'm creating is a life-size woman, who appears to be emerging from the wall.

She's meant to be a direct product of our environment, as the appearances, cosmetically, of women tend to be. She is to be positioned from a mannequin--retaining all of the features that such an industry acknowledges as being "ideal"--though she will not be clothed, she will be covered entirely in carefully trimmed articles upon which I've been collection the face transfers of other people's cosmetic processes. The head of the mannequin has been intentionally left out--to suggest that the effects of cosmetics on a woman being more of an epidemic beyond what ones face contains.

The doll I've used for the model isn't capable of moving, so it isn't an ideal indicator of what the piece will probably be.

This, if done as planned, will take up the entire wall which I have marked on our chart. So far, no one has approached me with a dispute--though I am more than willing to negotiate, but this must be done soon, as I am planning to begin building on the wall either late Monday or Tuesday.

I'm not 100% sure what this will turn out to be, but I'm just going to take it and run...
