I want to try and add more surreal elements into my clay figures, and based on the psychiatric diagnosis of 'Intense Vanity' in the 1900's, (that I read about whilst researching) I wanted to try and communicate this idea through my sculptures.

I decided to create the plaited hair on this figure and make it into a chain-like rope, weighing down and burdening the figure. I'm not sure how much this idea translates but I feel like this is a step in the right direction towards more surreal work.
