Examination Project 2006
This is my examination project from my last year at Nordiska Scenografiskolan. I worked for about 10 weeks with it, and was then exhibited in the museum of Skellefteå, summer of 2006. I guess I have a thing for mischievous little princesses that just won't do what's expected of them. :) Click on the thumbnails and they will open bigger in a new window. (recommended) |

| Here she is, sitting happily with a dragon dangling from her mouth. In this project I kinda wanted to turn the tables for the characters of the classic, if somewhat cliché fairytale. – Does the modern princess need rescuing, I wonder? Everything you see in this project is hand-sculpted, sewn, built and painted – except for the wig which I got after scalping an unfortunate little doll... The dragon has a latex body, and limbs in SuperSculpy. | |||||||||||||||||

| The parts of the body are sculpted in SuperSculpy over a tinfoil armature. They are then air-brushed and hand-painted, and given some cuts and bruises made by the dragon. The scroll is coffee-dyed paper, on which front I have handwritten a fairytale about a little princess. People kept complaining that they weren't able to read the whole story since the princess was sitting on it and they couldn't turn over the leaves, hehe... ;) On the other side of the scroll, there is a painting depicting a medieval cartoon, where a knight is saving a damsel in distress, by slaying the evil dragon – the ultimate cliché of a fairytale. The tracks of the princess is leading up to this scroll, where she has doodled all over it. |

| After graffiting on the cartoon, she doodled her way aroung the podium, snatched up the dragon somewhere and climbed up to sit on the scroll. Kinda like a cat with a dead mouse in it's mouth, looking at you and waiting for praise... ;) | |||||||||||||||||
