In this footage, William Cobbing (instagram) wears a giant ball of clay on his head. He slices off layers with a wire to reveal a gooey, dripping face.

with everything postponed, and having to stay isolated it’s been back to just me messing about with clay + camera. When making these new videos I was reminded of a conference I did years ago about art & analysis with @kivlandsharon at University of London, in which Herbert Lachmayer (Da Ponte, Vienna) spoke about ‘carpaccio of the ego’, which threw up all kinds of images for me.
