For my project I will recreate the ribcage. Using chicken wire and duct tape I will attempt to reproduce the area between the collar bone and the end of the ribs. I drew inspiration from the highly anticipated upcoming movie, IRONMAN 2. Ironman is a normal human being dressed in a nearly indestructible armor which provides him with weaponry and, most importantly, protection. As I meditated on the thought of body protection, basketball star Dwight Howard and Superman came to mind. Dwight Howard is known for his powerful body and the under-armor he wears during basketball games. Superman is just Superman. The ribcage seemed like the perfect body part when thinking "body-guard". The ribs are the ultimate protection yet under-appreciated. It protects every vital organ and can withstand immense amounts of force. Without the ribs, we could die by simply falling off a bike. My reproduction will function as armor for the chest area with an extra little summin' summin' to make it look cool.
MATERIALS:
- chicken wire
- duct tape
- cutting tools/pliers
- gloves
- band-aids (for when if the gloves don't protect my hands)
All of the above are objects that I already had rotting in my garage. I have already planned out how I will go about making the piece and will begin the actual creation process soon.
