Scars

This is an abstract scar painting, painted from a photograph I took of my mums scar on her back. I wanted to look at scars as scarring is a big part of this sfx project as we are looking closely at scarification.

Below is a picture I took of a fake scar I created on the skin using latex as an experiment to see how a scar would look from using this material. I have also coloured it with my aqua colour palette using a red toned colour to make it look like more of a fresh scar and like it is slightly raised of the skin.

I really like Burbridges images for there meaning but also for the creative effect of changing the face along with the textures and materials that have been used to do this. All of these images have high impact towards the meaning behind them but also with the designs used to show this meaning not making them really gory but making the fact that even though these people might have scars and imperfections it is beautiful and makes them who they are because of this and he has showed this allusion using beautiful colours and textures on the skin and face.
