Mike from The Chase and Freelancer Gary set the brief ‘Branding of Humanity’. I came up with branding humans as the killers they are and found out humans have made 777 animals extinct. I created a skull made up of 777 animals to represent this. The skull is made out of acrylic. The Skull was shown at the Existence exhibition in Kosmonaut Manchester
This is the original Skull which was shown at the Existence exhibition in Manchester. After this i went on to create a new version for the degree show which included the proposition.
Shown above is the final digital file of the skull
Here is the Laser Cutter file which was used (the line size has been increased from 0.003pt to 1pt to make the image visible)
