Deep Set Wrinkles

I started to investigate the wrinkles, lines and tracks that are left in the skin. These lines and wrinkles are the ultimate remnants of movement..if we never laughed or smiled we wouldn't have crows' feet :P

I started looking at the same section of each of my family's hands and the difference in the amount of lines in each section.

                                          Mam                                                             Jim

I took acetate and started drawing over the wrinkles with marker

 Here are the finished acetates (surprizingly my hand was the one with the most wrinkles :P)

 And here are all the acetates on top of one another

I really like this image and think it would make an interesting print which I shall look into doing during the coming days :)
