Process:

Plexiglass held in a curve with blue painter's tape.

1.5 inch clay skull placed in center.

Pieces of clear tape applied to curved plexiglass

Curved plexiglass painted over with Gesso, with five holes sized and positioned to line up with the skull from certain distances and angles, as well as over the clear tape.

Heads painted in Oils within those five holes, as a reconstruction of the skull.

Clear tape pieces peeled and reapplied directly above original positions, along with the parts of the face that were painted on top of them.

   

Right Profile, right oblique, and front-and-center, photographed as intended

    

Left Oblique, left profile, photographed as intended, and view of all the faces from behind the piece, the reapplied tape pieces faintly visible on the other side of the plexiglass.
