A Monstrous Self Portrait
The first part of a studio considering monstrosity and sublimity as it pertains to architecture and its facets of design, including the self and the human that resides within it.
The initial realization of the self portrait came from a drawing made of inverted golden ratios in the human body's proportions. But this is highly controlled, through mediums and measurement alike. What happens when we lose control of our mediums? This beginning lead to the drawing device that allowed an almost complete loss of control of the medium. Different opacities of ink were then dropped through the mask based on the shadows casted on the face at that time. The straws were then blown at to push the ink down, which created the monstrous self portrait.
