Peeling of the...L A T E X

One of the first things I noticed when beginning to work with latex was the assault on my nostrils, however after familiarising myself with the odour I was able to move on and enjoy the whole meticulous process of applying each layer evenly to the lubricated surface of a mould. At first each layer seems to amount to nothing, but NO it is not pointless but YES it is tedious however the end result is reward. 
The whole line of enquiry for this experiment was based on recreating the surface of skin, latex's ability to assimilate with this organ is quite unique. I was recently watching Austin Powers (Gold Member) and couldn't help but laugh at how Gold Members flaking skin reminds me of my latex creations and this particular creation.
