So, after seeing some of Markus Selg - an artist whose sculpture make you feel like you in a museum rather than a gallery. I thought I'd look into some of the artefacts he may have been referencing and decided to make my take on a Boli (here's a small article on them http://www.randafricanart.com/Bamana_Boli_PB.html).
It's plaster and straw. I think I'd like to try mixing some more organic materials into it as with the Boliw themselves; although I can't say I'll be going as far as blood which has been found in some Boliw.
Sorry the location isn't more glamourous but as the figure is LIFE SIZE it is flipping heavy!!!
What do you think?
Chicken wire base.
