Leg Hair photo series

Define Your Own Femininity,  Chaz Howkins, 2017, photograph

Femininity is Subjective, Chaz Howkins, 2017, photograph

I waxed one strip of my leg hair so I could write messages in the patch of bare skin surrounded by hair - however I think my leg hair is too light for this effect to be noticeable, so this photo shoot was not as successful as I'd hoped.

Plastic workshop outcome

Assemblage, Chaz Howkins, 2015, Plastic and mixed media on board

After using the vacuum former to create a bubble in the sheet of plastic during the workshop, I decided to fill the bubble and mount it onto wooden board to create a three dimensional assemblage piece.  I filled the bubble with items I felt reflected childhood and femininity, such as toys and clothing, alongside juxtaposing items such as cigarette packets.
