adam.

this is a figure i needle-felted last semester (fall 08) for a textiles class. his name is adam.




so here's what happened:
the original idea was to have a skeleton made of wire and wool and attach individually needle-felted muscles and skin to said skeleton with timelapse video.

oh i did it alright... i spent 8 hours with a felting needle and gloves on a lightbox, attaching each muscle in the right place, connecting all of the pieces of his body. i was creating a human from scratch (thus the name adam...), and that was the point of the film.

and then when it was all done, and i was exhausted and bordering on completely out of it, i tripped over the cord to my external harddrive on which it was all being recorded.

twice.

so i had to come up with something else, and i can't say i'm not pleased with the results. the concept was changed a bit, but i think it was for the best. it all worked out, i guess. here's the video:
